Abstract

Recent improvements to the plasma simulation code Cloudy will allow the inclusion of model ions and molecules from third-party databases. These models will have important effects on Cloudy predictions at a wide variety of conditions and energies. Here we present a brief discussion of this work and highlight future goals.
