Abstract: | The radio recombination line intensities of heavy elements of helium, carbon and oxygen are calculated with accounting for
dielectronic recombination. Dielectronic recombination rates are determined accurate to the second order of a perturbation
theory and the rates are described as function of principal quantum number for helium-like atom or ion. Balance equations
are solved for the departure coefficients from LTE bn. The collision and spontaneous transition rates are accounted for the balance equations, in which non-equilibrium distribution
source is dielectronic recombination. Non-equilibrium amplification coefficients are found as functions of a medium temperature,
density and ion charge z = 1–3 for radio recombination lines.
Optical depths are calculated for the heavy element low-frequency lines with the numbers 300 > n > 1200. For the chosen electronic temperatures and densities Te = 0.8× 104–10× 104 K, Ne = 0.05–0.1 cm−3 the line optical depth is determined by the values τL∼ 0.1× 10−4–100× 10−4. Calculated for free-free transition rates, the optical depth is given by using the value τff∼ 10−2τL. |
