Electron collision broadening parameters calculations were performed for 33 singly ionized yttrium spectral lines, 27 with special relevance in astrophysical applications (can be found in the Atmospheres of FGK Stars). Calculations were made in the semi-empirical Griem approach using the Gaunt factors proposed by Van Regemorter and those proposed by Douglas H. Sampson. Furthermore, to test our calculations, the electron collision broadening of 4 well isolated spectral lines of Y II was experimentally measured in laser- induced breakdown experiments using a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser focused on Pb-Y alloy samples.
