The following machine-readable files for the emission-line data are available here (VizieR.tar.gz) and in the CDS VizieR database:

table_PI_radi.dat: Fully radiation-bounded photoionization models.
table_CPI_radi.dat: Fully radiation-bounded collisional ionization and photoionization models.
table_NPI_radi.dat: Fully radiation-bounded non-equilibrium photoionization models.
table_PI_pden.dat: Partially density-bounded photoionization models.
table_CPI_pden.dat: Partially density-bounded collisional ionization and photoionization models.
table_NPI_pden.dat: Partially density-bounded non-equilibrium photoionization models.
table_PI_dens.dat: Fully density-bounded photoionization models.
table_CPI_dens.dat: Fully density-bounded collisional ionization and photoionization models.
table_NPI_dens.dat: Fully density-bounded non-equilibrium photoionization models.

Each file is named as table_case_bound.dat such as table_CPI_radi.dat, where case is for the ionization case (PI: purely photoionization, CPI: collisional ionization and photoionization, and NPI: non-equilibrium photoionization), and bound for the optical depth model (radi: fully radiation-bounded, pden: partially density-bounded, and dens: fully density-bounded).

Each file contains the following information:

metal: metallicity Ẑ ≡ Z/Z_⊙ = 1, 0.5, 0.25, and 0.125.
dMdt: mass-loss rate Ṁ_sc = 10⁻¹, 10⁻², 10⁻³, and 10⁻⁴ × Ẑ^0.72 M_⊙ yr⁻¹.
Vinf: wind terminal speed V_∞ = 250, 500, and 1000 × Ẑ^0.13 km s⁻¹.
Rsc: cluster radius R_sc = 1 pc.
age: Cluster current age t = 1 Myr.
Mstar: Cluster total stellar mass M_★ = 2.05 × 10⁶ M_⊙.
logLion: Logarithmic ionizing luminosity log L_ion.
Namb: ambient density n_amb = 1, 10, 10², and 10³ cm⁻³.
Tamb: mean ambient temperature T_amb determined by CLOUDY.
Rmax: maximum radius R_max (pc) for the surface brightness integration.
Raper: aperture radius R_aper (pc) for the total luminosity integration.
Rshell: shell radius R_shell (pc).
Rstr: Strömgren radius R_str (pc) determined by CLOUDY.
Rbin: bubble inner radius R_b,in (pc).
Rbout: bubble outer radius R_b,out (pc) or shell inner radius.
Tbubble: median temperature T_bubble of the hot bubble.
Tadi: median temperature T_adi,med of the expanding wind predicted by the adiabatic solutions.
Twind: median temperature T_w,med of the expanding wind predicted by MAIHEM with the radiative solutions.
logUsp: Logarithmic dimensionless ionization parameter log(U_sph) in a spherical geometry calculated by CLOUDY.
thin: optically thin (1) or thick (0) model.
mode: the cooling/heating radiative/adiabatic modes:
- 1 (AW: adiabatic wind),
- 2 (AB: adiabatic bubble),
- 3 (AP: adiabatic, pressure-confined),
- 4 (CC: catastrophic cooling),
- 5 (CB: catastrophic cooling bubble), and
- 6 (CP: catastrophic cooling, pressure-confined).
H_1_1216, H_1_6563, . . . , Ar_5_7006: integrated luminosities of the emission lines Lyα λ1216 Å, Hα λ6563 Å, . . . , [Ar V] λ7006 Å, respectively.
