The Abundances Data File: xout_abund1.fits

Print ion abundances and heating and cooling rates in an ascii fits file. For each ion with fractional abundance (relative to its parent element) greater than 10$^{-10}$ the following information is printed: ion index, ion name, fractional abundance (relative to the relevant elemental abundance), abundance (relative to the total hydrogen abundance), and that ion's contributions to heating and cooling rates (in erg cm$^{-3}$ s$^{-1}$). The elements are ordered by increasing nuclear charge, ions by increasing free charge. Also printed are the Compton and total heating rates, and bremsstrahlung, Compton, and total cooling rates (in erg cm$^{-3}$ s$^{-1}$). This information is saved at every spatial zone and printed out when the model is complete. A second extension onto this file contains the column densities of the ions at the completion of the model.
