Abstract
Using recently developed version of the configuration interaction method for atoms with open shells we calculate the spectroscopic properties of the mendelevium atom (Md, Z=101). These include energy levels, first and second ionisation potentials, electron affinities, hyperfine structure and electric dipole transition amplitudes between ground and low lying states of opposite parity. The accuracy of the calculations is controlled by performing similar calculations for a lighter homolog of mendelevium, the thulium atom and comparing the results with experiments and other calculations. The calculations for Md are to address the lack of experimental data and help in planning and interpreting the measurements.
