✦ Synopsis

A list of solar spectral lines having simple Zeeman triplet splitting with Land6 g-factors equal to or greater than 2.5 is presented.

Fraunhofer lines with simple, large Zeeman splitting are useful for studies of solar magnetic fields. A list of such lines was given by von Klfiber (1947) and references to these and other lines are found in the literature (e.g. Evershed, 1939;Babcock, 1962;Wiehr, 1970). Beckers (1969) presented a list of forbidden Fraunhofer lines produced by magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole transitions some of which have large Zeeman splitting. Blends in association with some of the well-known Zeeman triplets have been discussed by Kjeldseth Moe et al. (1970) andby Wittmann (1972). A list of Fraunhofer lines without Zeeman splitting was given by Sistla and Harvey (1970).
