The IRON Project: Photoionization of Fe ions
  The IRON Project, initiated in 1991, aims at two main objectives, i) study
the characteristics of and calculate large-scale high accuracy data for atomic
radiative and collisional processes, and ii) application in solving
astrophysical problems. It focuses on the complex iron and iron-peak elements
commonly observed in the spectra of astrophysical plasmas. The present report
will illustrate the characteristics of the dominant atomic process of
photoionization that have been established under the project and the preceding
the Opacity Project and their importance in applications.
