An emission spectrum from hot diffuse gas based on the model calculations
of Mewe and Kaastra with Fe L calculations by Liedahl. The model includes
line emissions from several elements.
The references for the MEKAL model are as follows :

A&, 62, 197

Similar credit may also be given for the adopted ionization balance
