Isotope shift calculations for open-shell atoms and ions: an extension to the RATIP program

During the past decade, the RATIP program has been found useful for calculating a variety of atomic properties, including energies, transition probabilities, Auger parameters as well as a number of excitation, ionization and capture cross sections for processes with a single electron in the continuum. Recently, in addition, this suite of programs was extended to predict also the isotope shift and hyperfine parameters of open-shell atoms and ions. Here, we review the latest developments of the RATIP program with emphasis on the specific mass-shift M-sms and field-shift F parameters. Detailed computations for these parameters have been carried out especially for the 4s S-2(1/2) - 4p P-2(1/2,3/2) transitions at similar to 397 nm of singly-charged Ca+ ions and are compared with available data from the literature.
