Inner-shell photoionization of O iii

A 25-state R -matrix calculation is performed to obtain photoionization cross-sections for transitions from the 1s²2s²2p²³P 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.     

Sextet transitions in Fe ii

We have calculated oscillator strengths for the J – J ' levels of the a  ⁶D– z  ⁶P^o, the a  ⁶D– z  ⁶D^o and the a  ⁶D– z  ⁶F^o multiplets in Fe  ii , using configuration interaction wave functions. The importance of the mixing of the ⁶P^o, ⁶D^o and ⁶F^o states is shown, as is the effect of core polarization of both the 3 p and 3 s orbitals. Good agreement with recent experimental results is obtained.

Core-polarization effects, oscillator strengths and radiative lifetimes of levels in Pb iii

Transition probabilities and oscillator strengths of 382 lines with astrophysical interest arising from 5d⁹6s²6p, 5d¹⁰6s n l, 5d¹⁰6s², 5d¹⁰6p², 5d¹⁰6p7s and 5d¹⁰6p6d 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 5d¹⁰6p7s and 5d¹⁰6p6d 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.     

Experimental and theoretical radiative lifetimes, branching fractions and oscillator strengths in Lu iiii

By a combination of radiative lifetimes measured using the fast-beam-laser method and experimental branching ratios deduced from Fourier transform spectrometer spectra, it has been possible to derive experimental f -values for Lu  ii lines observed in the visible and near-ultraviolet regions. These data are compared with relativistic Hartree–Fock calculations, taking core polarization effects into account, and a set of additional oscillator strengths of astrophysical interest is presented.     

Radiative association in Li+H revisited: the role of quasi-bound states

The role in radiative association of narrow resonances arising from quasi-bound levels is examined. For the rate coefficient the contribution from such levels is readily calculated in terms of the Einstein A -coefficient from bound rovibrational levels generated using a suitable alternative boundary condition. By locating systematically all the quasi-bound levels, an enhancement by more than an order of magnitude of the rate coefficient for Li(2s) + H(1s) association above about 600 K is obtained. The effect on the LiH abundance in the early Universe is no more than an increase of a factor of 3 for limited ranges of values of the redshift. For the Li(2p) state the effect of narrow resonances appears to have been taken into account in previous calculations.     

Calculation of the structure and transition probabilities of low energy levels of Fe and Fe

We use analytical wave functions in intermediate coupling to make a complete relativistic calculation of the structure and transition probabilities for the n = 1, 2, 3 states of Fe⁺²⁴. Data for Fe⁺²⁵ are also given for comparison. The results have a high accuracy and those relating to the n = 3 state are given in detail for the first time here.

Effective collision strengths for forbidden transitions among the 3s23p3 fine-structure levels of Cl IIIIII

Effective collision strengths for the 10 astrophysically important fine-structure forbidden transitions among the ⁴S^o, ²D^o and ²P^o levels in the 3s²3p³ configuration of Cl  iii are presented. The calculation employs the multichannel R-matrix method to compute the electron-impact excitation collision strengths in a close-coupling expansion, which incorporates the lowest 23 LS target eigenstates of Cl  iii . These states are formed from the 3s²3p³, 3s3p⁴, 3s²3p²3d and 3s²3p²4s configurations. The Maxwellian-averaged effective collision strengths are presented graphically for all 10 fine-structure transitions over a wide range of electron temperatures appropriate for astrophysical applications [log  T (K)=3.3−log  T (K)=5.9]. Comparisons are made with the earlier seven-state close-coupling calculation of Butler & Zeippen, and in general excellent agreement is found in the low-temperature region where a comparison is possible [log  T (K)=3.3−log  T (K)=4.7]. However, discrepancies of up to 30 per cent are found to occur for the forbidden transitions which involve the ⁴S^o ground state level, particularly for the lowest temperatures considered. At the higher temperatures, the present data are the only reliable results currently available.     

Distance estimate and progenitor characteristics of SN 2005cs in M51

We present the excitation energies and lifetimes for the  3 s 3 p 3 d  ⁴ F  _7/2,9/2  levels for five aluminium-like ions of the iron group. Apart from the wavelengths, this also includes the transition probabilities and branching ratios for the electric-dipole allowed (E1) and forbidden (M1, E2, M2) lines into the energetically lower lying levels of the  3 s ²3 d , 3 s 3 p ²  and  3 s 3 p 3 d   configurations. Applying systematically enlarged multiconfiguration Dirac–Fock (MCDF) wavefunctions, here the effects of relativity and the electron–electron correlation are treated within the same (computational) model.     

Anomalous mixing of the w2Po3/2 and x6Po3/2 levels in Fe ii

The neighbouring lines a ⁶D_5/2– x ⁶P^o_3/2 (1272.617 Å) and a ⁶D_5/2– w ²P^o_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(³D)4p ⁴P^o_3/2, and hence we explain the relative strengths of the two UV lines.     

Photoionization from excited states of Ne I

As a result of fine-structure splitting of the Ne  II core, excited states of Ne  I show large departures from SL coupling. It is shown that the photoionization cross-sections for the physical states can be expressed as linear combinations of the calculated cross-sections for the SL states. The coefficients in the expansions are given for all states with n  = 3 and 4.     

3s23p–3s3p2 transitions in S iv

We use both the civ3 and mchf codes to calculate oscillator strengths of allowed and intercombination lines in the  3s²3p–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.
