CHIANTI contains a large quantity of atomic data for the analysis of astrophysical spectra. Programs are available in IDL and Python to perform calculation of the expected emergent spectrum from these sources. The database includes atomic energy levels, wavelengths, radiative transition probabilities, rate coefficients for collisional excitation, ionization, and recombination, as well as data to calculate free-free, free-bound, and two-photon continuum emission. In Version 9, we improve the modelling of the satellite lines at X-ray wavelengths by explicitly including autoionization and dielectronic recombination processes in the calculation of level populations for select members of the lithium isoelectronic sequence and Fe XVIII-XXIII. In addition, existing datasets are updated, new ions added and new total recombination rates for several Fe ions are included. All data and IDL programs are freely available at http://www.chiantidatabase.org or through SolarSoft and the Python code ChiantiPy is also freely available at https://github.com/chianti-atomic/ChiantiPy.

We present version 8 of the CHIANTI database. This version includes a large amount of new data and ions, which represent a significant improvement in the soft X-ray, EUV and UV spectral regions, which several space missions currently cover. New data
for neutrals and low charge states are also added. The data are assessed, but to improve the modelling of low-temperature plasma the effective collision strengths for most of the new datasets are not spline-fitted as previously, but are retained as calculated. This required a change of the format of the CHIANTI electron excitation files. The format of the energy files has also been changed. Excitation rates between all the levels are retained for most of the new datasets, so the data can in principle be used to model high-density plasma. In addition, the method for computing the differential emission measure used in the CHIANTI software has been changed.
We present version 10 of the CHIANTI package. In this release, we provide updated atomic models for several helium-like ions and for all the ions of the beryllium, carbon and magnesium isoelectronic sequences that are abundant in astrophysical plasma
s. We include rates from large-scale atomic structure and scattering calculations that are in many cases a significant improvement over the previous version, especially for the Be-like sequence, which has useful line diagnostics to measure the electron density and temperature. We have also added new ions and updated several of them with new atomic rates and line identifications. Also, we have added several improvements to the IDL software, to speed up the calculations and to estimate the suppression of dielectronic recombination.
We present the results obtained from a study of the variability of iron emission lines in the high mass X-ray binary pulsar Cen X-3 during the eclipse, eclipse-egress and out-of-eclipse phases using XMM-Newton observations. Three iron emission lines
at 6.4 keV, 6.7 keV, and 6.97 keV are clearly detected in the spectrum of the pulsar during the entire observations, irrespective of different binary phases. The properties of these emission lines are investigated at different intensity levels. The flux level and equivalent width of the emission lines change during the eclipse, eclipse-egress and out-of-eclipse orbital phases. Based on the results obtained from the time resolved spectral analysis, it is understood that the most probable emitting region of 6.4 keV fluorescent line is very close to the neutron star whereas the other two lines are produced in a region that is far from the neutron star, probably in the highly photo-ionized wind of the companion star or in the accretion disk corona.
We present Chandra observations of 2106 radio-quiet quasars in the redshift range 1.7<z<2.7 from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), through data release fourteen (DR14), that do not contain broad absorption lines (BAL) in their rest-frame UV spectr
a. This sample adds over a decade worth of SDSS and Chandra observations to our previously published sample of 139 quasars from SDSS DR5 which is still used to correlate X-ray and optical/UV emission in typical quasars. We fit the SDSS spectra for 753 of the quasars in our sample that have high-quality (exposure time $gtrapprox$10 ks and off-axis observation angle <10 arcmin) X-ray observations, and analyze their X-ray-to-optical SED properties ($alpha_{ox}$ and $Deltaalpha_{ox}$) with respect to the measured CIV and MgII emission-line rest-frame equivalent width (EW) and the CIV emission-line blueshift. We find significant correlations (at the >99.99% level) between $alpha_{ox}$ and these emission-line parameters, as well as between $Deltaalpha_{ox}$ and CIV EW. Slight correlations are found between $Deltaalpha_{ox}$ and CIV blueshift, MgII EW, and the CIV EW to MgII EW ratio. The best-fit trend in each parameter space is used to compare the X-ray weakness ($Deltaalpha_{ox}$) and optical/UV emission properties of typical quasars and weak-line quasars (WLQs). The WLQs typically exhibit weaker X-ray emission than predicted by the typical quasar relationships. The best-fit relationships for our typical quasars are consistent with predictions from the disk-wind quasar model. The behavior of the WLQs compared to our typical quasars can be explained by an X-ray shielding model.
We present the detection of new cometary X-ray emission lines in the 1.0 to 2.0 keV range using a sample of comets observed with the Chandra X-ray observatory and ACIS spectrometer. We have selected 5 comets from the Chandra sample with good signal-t
o-noise spectra. The surveyed comets are: C/1999 S4 (LINEAR), C/1999 T1 (McNaught-Hartley), 153P/2002 (Ikeya-Zhang), 2P/2003 (Encke), and C/2008 8P (Tuttle). We modeled the spectra with an extended version of our solar wind charge exchange (SWCX) emission model (Bodewits et al. 2007). Above 1 keV, we find Ikeya-Zhang to have strong emission lines at 1340 and 1850 eV that we identify as being created by solar wind charge exchange lines of Mg XI and Si XIII, respectively, and weaker emission lines at 1470, 1600, and 1950 eV formed by SWCX of Mg XII, Mg XI, and Si XIV, respectively. The Mg XI and XII and Si XIII and XIV lines are detected at a significant level for the other comets in our sample (LS4, MH, Encke, 8P), and these lines promise additional diagnostics to be included in SWCX models. The silicon lines in the 1700 to 2000 eV range are detected for all comets, but with the rising background and decreasing cometary emission, we caution these detections need further confirmation with higher resolution instruments.
