Theoretical Stark Broadening Parameters for UV-Blue Spectral Lines of Neutral Vanadium in the Solar and Metal-Poor Star HD 84937 Spectra

Using Griem’s semi-empirical approach, we have calculated the Stark broadening parameters (line widths and shifts) of 35 UV-Blue spectral lines of neutral vanadium (V I). These lines have been detected in the Sun, the metal-poor star HD 84937, and Arcturus, among others. In addition, these parameters are also relevant in industrial and laboratory plasma. The matrix elements required were obtained using the relativistic Hartree-Fock (HFR) method implemented in Cowan’s code.
