Effective collision strengths for electron-impact excitation of the N-like ion S x are calculated in the close-coupling approximation using the multichannel R -matrix method. Specific attention is given to the 10 astrophysically important fine-structure forbidden transitions among the 4 So , 2 Do and 2 Po levels in the 2s2 2p3 ground configuration. The total (e− +ion) wavefunction is expanded in terms of the 11 lowest LS eigenstates of S x , and each eigenstate is represented by extensive configuration-interaction wavefunctions. The collision strengths obtained are thermally averaged over a Maxwellian distribution of velocities, for all 10 fine-structure transitions, over the range of electron temperatures log T (K)=4.6–6.7 (the range appropriate for astrophysical applications). The present effective collision strengths are the only results currently available for these fine-structure transition rates. 相似文献

The ab initio R -matrix method is used to calculate effective collision strengths for electron-impact excitation of the sulphur-like ion Cl ii in the close-coupling approximation. All 10 astrophysically important fine-structure forbidden transitions within the 3s2 3p4 , , ground configuration levels are considered. The 12 lowest LS target states are included in the calculation. Effective collision strengths are obtained by averaging the electron collision strengths over a Maxwellian distribution of electron velocities. Results are presented for electron temperatures in the range log T (K)=3.3 to log T (K)=5.5 , appropriate for astrophysical applications. These are the only effective collision strength data that are currently available. 相似文献

Effective collision strengths for electron-impact excitation of the N-like ion Ne iv are calculated in the close-coupling approximation using the multichannel R-matrix method. Specific attention is given to the 10 astrophysically important fine-structure forbidden transitions among the 4 So , 2 Do and 2 Po levels in the 2s2 2p3 ground-state configuration. The expansion of the total wavefunction incorporates the lowest 11 LS eigenstates of Ne iv , consisting of eight n = 2 terms with configurations 2s2 2p3 , 2s2p4 and 2p5 , together with three n = 3 states of configuration 2s2 2p2 3s. We present in graphical form the effective collision strengths obtained by thermally averaging the collision strengths over a Maxwellian distribution of velocities, for all 10 fine-structure transitions, over the range of electron temperatures log T (K) = 3.6 to log T (K) = 6.1 (the range appropriate for astrophysical applications). Comparisons are made with the earlier, less sophisticated close-coupling calculation of Giles, and excellent agreement is found in the limited temperature region where a comparison is possible [log T (K) = 3.7 to log T (K) = 4.3]. At higher temperatures the present data are the only reliable results currently available. 相似文献

Fine-structure collision strengths are calculated for transitions between the ground-state levels of atomic oxygen. The R -matrix method is used in which the (2p4 ) 3 P, 1 D and 1 S terms are included as well as three pseudo-states chosen to represent the dipole polarizability of the 3 P ground state. Very sophisticated configuration–interaction wavefunctions are used for the target states and a recoupling transformation to pair coupling is applied to the inner-region Hamiltonian matrix, with the 3 P fine-structure energy levels being adjusted to match the observed splitting prior to diagonalization. Effective collision strengths are obtained by integrating over a Maxwellian distribution and the rate coefficient of the cooling of electron gas is determined. The cooling rates are significantly lower than those currently available, in confirmation of the result deduced from measurements of the Earth's ionosphere electron gas. 相似文献

We use both the civ3 and mchf codes to calculate oscillator strengths of allowed and intercombination lines in the 3s2 3p–3s3p2 multiplets. Valence, core–valence and some core–core correlation effects are included. The two approaches give results in excellent agreement. Core effects are particularly important for the intercombination lines, though relatively minor for allowed transitions.
We obtain a branching ratio of 1.42 with an estimated accuracy of 0.02 for the transitions, compared with an experimental value of 1.12±0.1 . The A -values of the intercombination lines are substantially different from those of previous calculations. 相似文献

Recent fully relativistic calculations of radiative rates and electron impact excitation cross-sections for Fe xiii are used to generate emission-line ratios involving 3s2 3p2 –3s3p3 and 3s2 3p2 –3s2 3p3d transitions in the 170–225 and 235–450 Å wavelength ranges covered by the Solar Extreme-Ultraviolet Research Telescope and Spectrograph (SERTS). A comparison of these line ratios with SERTS active region observations from rocket flights in 1989 and 1995 reveals generally very good agreement between theory and experiment. Several new Fe xiii emission features are identified, at wavelengths of 203.79, 259.94, 288.56 and 290.81 Å. However, major discrepancies between theory and observation remain for several Fe xiii transitions, as previously found by Landi and others, which cannot be explained by blending. Errors in the adopted atomic data appear to be the most likely explanation, in particular for transitions which have 3s2 3p3d 1 D2 as their upper level. The most useful Fe xiii electron-density diagnostics in the SERTS spectral regions are assessed, in terms of the line pairs involved being (i) apparently free of atomic physics problems and blends, (ii) close in wavelength to reduce the effects of possible errors in the instrumental intensity calibration, and (iii) very sensitive to changes in N e over the range 108 –1011 cm−3 . It is concluded that the ratios which best satisfy these conditions are 200.03/202.04 and 203.17/202.04 for the 170–225 Å wavelength region, and 348.18/320.80, 348.18/368.16, 359.64/348.18 and 359.83/368.16 for 235–450 Å. 相似文献

Recent R -matrix calculations of electron impact excitation rates for transitions among the 2s2 2p2 , 2s2p3 and 2p4 levels of Fe xxi are used to derive theoretical electron density ( N e ) sensitive emission-line ratios involving 2s2 2p2 –2s2p3 transitions in the ∼98–146Å wavelength range. A comparison of these with observations from the PLT tokamak plasma, for which the electron density has been independently determined, reveals generally very good agreement between theory and experiment, and in some instances removes discrepancies found previously. The observed Fe xxi ratios for a solar flare, obtained with the OSO–5 satellite, imply electron densities which are consistent, with discrepancies that do not exceed 0.2 dex. In addition, the derived values of N e are similar to those estimated for the high-temperature regions of other solar flares. The good agreement between theory and observation, in particular for the tokamak spectra, provides experimental support for the accuracy of the present line-ratio calculations, and hence for the atomic data on which they are based. 相似文献

The wavelength and Einstein A coefficient are calculated for all rotation–vibration transitions of 4 He1 H+ , 3 He1 H+ , 4 He2 H+ and 3 He2 H+ , giving a complete line list and the partition function for 4 HeH+ and its isotopologues. This opacity is included in the calculation of the total opacity of low-metallicity stars and its effect is analysed for different conditions of temperature, density and hydrogen number fraction. For a low helium number fraction (as in the Sun), it is found that HeH+ has a visible but small effect for very low densities (ρ≤ 10−10 g cm−3 ) , at temperatures around 3500 K. However, for high helium number fraction, the effect of HeH+ becomes important for higher densities (ρ≤ 10−6 g cm−3 ) , its effect being most important for a temperature around 3500 K. Synthetic spectra for a variety of different conditions are presented. 相似文献

The neighbouring lines a 6 D5/2 – x 6 Po 3/2 (1272.617 Å) and a 6 D5/2 – w 2 Po 3/2 (1272.657 Å) have been observed in the UV spectrum of χ Lupi to be of comparable intensity. The latter, Δ S = 2, transition would be expected to be very weak. The two upper states should display negligible mixing. We give a detailed, quantitative discussion of how the two upper states are in fact strongly mixed through their mixing with 3d6 (3 D)4p 4 Po 3/2 , and hence we explain the relative strengths of the two UV lines. 相似文献

A 25-state R -matrix calculation is performed to obtain photoionization cross-sections for transitions from the 1s2 2s2 2p2 3 P ground state of the O iii ion. Results are obtained for a range of photon energies, including those at which K-shell photoionization processes take place. We compare our results with those from previous calculations. Excellent agreement is obtained. We also consider resonances owing to transitions of a 1s electron excited into the 2p orbital and compare with a recent calculation. 相似文献

A model is constructed of the material in front of the star Cygnus OB2 no. 12 in which dense cores are embedded in diffuse clumps of gas. The model reproduces the measured abundances of C2 and CO, and predicts a column density of 91010 cm2 for HCO+ . 相似文献

The rates of rotational transitions for HCO+ , the most abundant ion in interstellar space, induced by collision with helium are obtained for temperatures ranging from 10 to 80 K. The calculations are based on a new potential energy surface for the He–HCO+ interaction and on a scattering matrix whose accuracy was checked by pressure broadening and shift measurements. The rates decrease for increasing values of j and Δ j , with a temperature trend depending on the energy involved in the transitions: if it is small, the rates are almost constant, while an increase with T is found for other cases. Comparison with previous and less accurate results shows an agreement within 50 per cent. Comparison between state-to-state and pressure broadening cross-sections allows us to discuss importance and influence of elastic and inelastic collisions. 相似文献

Transition probabilities and oscillator strengths of 382 lines with astrophysical interest arising from 5d9 6s2 6p, 5d10 6s n l, 5d10 6s2 , 5d10 6p2 , 5d10 6p7s and 5d10 6p6d configurations and some levels radiative lifetimes of Pb iii have been calculated. These values were obtained in intermediate coupling (IC) and using relativistic Hartree–Fock calculations including core-polarization effects. We use for the IC calculations the standard method of least-square fitting from experimental energy levels by means of Cowan computer code. The inclusion in these calculations of the 5d10 6p7s and 5d10 6p6d configurations has facilitated us a complete assignment of the levels of energy in the Pb iii . Transition probabilities, oscillator strengths and radiative lifetimes obtained are generally in good agreement with the experimental data. 相似文献

An upper limit of the column density of the C5 linear molecule in translucent interstellar clouds is estimated from high-resolution ( R =80 000) and very high signal-to-noise ratio (∼1000) echelle spectra. It is 1012 cm−2 per E ( B − V )=1 (two orders of magnitude lower than that of C2 ). 相似文献

The behaviour of the Δν= 2 CO bands around 2.3 μm was examined by comparing observed and synthetic spectra in stars in globular clusters of different metallicity. Changes in the 12 C/13 C isotopic ratio and the carbon abundances were investigated in stars from 3500–4900 K in the galactic globular clusters M71, M5, M3 and M13, covering the metallicity range from −0.7 to −1.6. We found relatively low carbon abundances that are not affected by the value of oxygen abundance. For most giants, the 12 C/13 C ratios determined are consistent with the equilibrium value for the CN cycle. This suggests complete mixing on the ascent of the red giant branch, in contrast to the substantially higher values predicted across this range of parameters by the current generation of models. We found some evidence for a larger dispersion of 12 C/13 C in giants of M71 of metallicity [μ]=[M/H]=−0.7 in comparison with the giants of M3, M5 and M13, which are more metal deficient. Finally, we show evidence for lower 12 C/13 C in giants of globular clusters with lower metallicities, as predicted by theory. 相似文献

We present newly calculated low-temperature opacities for gas with a primordial chemical composition. In contrast to earlier calculations, which took a pure metal-free hydrogen/helium mixture, we take into account the small fractions of deuterium and lithium as resulting from standard big bang nucleosynthesis. Our opacity tables cover the density range −16 < log ρ[g cm−3 ] < −2 and the temperature range of 1.8 < log T [K] < 4.6 , while previous tables have usually been restricted to T > 103 K . We find that, while the presence of deuterium does not significantly alter the opacity values, the presence of lithium gives rise to major modifications of the opacities, at some points increasing it by approximately two orders of magnitude relative to pure hydrogen/helium opacities. 相似文献

We present a set of gas-phase Planck mean and Rosseland mean opacity tables applicable for simulations of star and planet formation, stellar evolution and disc modelling at various metallicities in hydrogen-rich environments. The tables are calculated for gas temperatures between 1000 and 10 000 K and total hydrogen number densities between 102 and 1017 cm−3 . The carbon-to-oxygen ratio is varied from 0.43 to well above 2.0, the nitrogen-to-oxygen ratio between 0.14 and 100.0. The tables are calculated for a range of metallicities down to [M/H]'= log N M / N H =−7.0 . We demonstrate how the mean opacities and the abundances of the opacity species vary with C/O, N/O and [M/H]' . We use the element abundances from Grevesse et al., and we provide additional tables for the oxygen abundance value from Caffau et al. All tables will be available online at http://star-www.st-and.ac.uk/~ch80/datasources.html . 相似文献

Radiative lifetimes of 17 excited levels in Zr i , in the energy interval 29 000–40 974 cm−1 , have been investigated using the time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence method. The levels belong to the 4d2 5s5p, 4d3 5p and 4d5s2 5p electronic configurations and were excited in a single-step process from either the ground term, 4d2 5s2 a 3 F, or from the low-lying 4d2 5s2 a 3 P and a 5 F terms. For three levels, we confirm previous measurements while for 14 of the levels the lifetimes have been measured for the first time. The experimental results are compared to theoretical calculations performed with a multiconfiguration relativistic Hartree–Fock method including core-polarization effects. Theoretical transition probabilities of astrophysical interest, scaled by the experimental lifetimes, for the depopulating channels of the investigated levels are also presented. 相似文献

We investigate the possibility of interstellar masers in transitions of the methanol isotopomers CH3 OD, 13 CH3 OH and CH3 18 OH, and of CH3 SH. The model used, in which masers are pumped through the first and second torsionally excited states by IR radiation, has accounted successfully for the Class II masers in main species methanol, 12 CH3 16 OH. Several potential maser candidates are identified for CH3 OD, their detectability depending on the enrichment of this species in star-forming regions. In 13 CH3 OH and CH3 18 OH the best maser candidates are direct counterparts of the well-known 6.7- and 12.2-GHz methanol masers, but the lower interstellar abundance of these substituted species means that the expected brightness is greatly reduced. The maser candidates in CH3 SH are also weak. By comparing these species we find that the large b -component of the dipole moment in methanol plays a significant role in its propensity to form masers, as does the strong torsion–rotation interaction due to the light hydroxyl frame. Thus the exceptional brightness of interstellar methanol masers is due to a favourable combination of molecular properties as well as high interstellar abundance. 相似文献
