Equivalent width : ウィキペディア英語版 | Equivalent width
The equivalent width of a spectral line is a measure of the area of the line on a plot of intensity versus wavelength. It is found by forming a rectangle with a height equal to that of continuum emission, and finding the width such that the area of the rectangle is equal to the area in the spectral line. It is a measure of the strength of spectral features that is primarily used in astronomy. ==Definition== Formally, the equivalent width is given by the equation . Here, represents the continuum intensity on either side of the absorption (or emission) feature, while represents the intensity across the entire wavelength range of interest. Then represents the width of a hypothetical line which drops to an intensity of zero and has the "same integrated flux deficit from the continuum as the true one."〔 This equation can be applied to either emission or absorption, but when applied to emission, the value of is negative, and so the absolute value is used.
