ABSTRACT Accurate atomic data are essential for opacity calculations and for abundance analyses of the Sun and other stars. The aim of this work is to provide accurate and extensive results of energy levels and transition data for C i–iv. The Multiconfiguration Dirac–Hartree–Fock and relativistic configuration interaction methods were used in this work. To improve the quality of the wavefunctions and reduce the relative differences between length and velocity forms for transition data involving high Rydberg states, alternative computational strategies were employed by imposing restrictions on the electron substitutions when constructing the orbital basis for each atom and ion. Transition data, for example, weighted oscillator strengths and transition probabilities, are given for radiative electric dipole (E1) transitions involving levels up to 1s22s22p6s for C i, up to 1s22s27f for C ii, up to 1s22s7f for C iii, and up to 1s28g for C iv. Using the difference between the transition rates in length and velocity gauges as an internal validation, the average uncertainties of all presented E1 transitions are estimated to be 8.05 per cent, 7.20 per cent, 1.77 per cent, and 0.28 per cent, respectively, for C i–iv. Extensive comparisons with available experimental and theoretical results are performed and good agreement is observed for most of the transitions. In addition, the C i data were employed in a re-analysis of the solar carbon abundance. The new transition data give a line-by-line dispersion similar to the one obtained when using transition data that are typically used in stellar spectroscopic applications today.

Aims. Accurate atomic data for Ti II are essential for abundance analyses in astronomical objects. The aim of this work is to provide accurate and extensive results of oscillator strengths and lifetimes for Ti II. Methods. The multiconfiguration Dirac–Hartree–Fock and relativistic configuration interaction (RCI) methods, which are implemented in the general-purpose relativistic atomic structure package GRASP2018, were used in the present work. In the final RCI calculations, the transverse-photon (Breit) interaction, the vacuum polarisation, and the self-energy corrections were included. Results. Energy levels and transition data were calculated for the 99 lowest states in Ti II. Calculated excitation energies are found to be in good agreement with experimental data from the Atomic Spectra Database of the National Institute of Standards and Technology based on the study by Huldt et al. Lifetimes and transition data, for example, line strengths, weighted oscillator strengths, and transition probabilities for radiative electric dipole (E1), magnetic dipole (M1), and electric quadrupole (E2) transitions, are given and extensively compared with the results from previous calculations and measurements, when available. The present theoretical results of the oscillator strengths are, overall, in better agreement with values from the experiments than the other theoretical predictions. The computed lifetimes of the odd states are in excellent agreement with the measured lifetimes. Finally, we suggest a relabelling of the 3d2(12D)4p y2 D3/2o and z2 P3/2o levels.

Studying hydrogenic ions with high Z is an occasion to understand atomic structure. It also provides a reliable test of methods used to determine atomic structures. Many fields and applications require precise atomic data. For this reason, a hydrogen-like study is performed for lawrencium (Lr102+, Z = 103). The energy levels of hydrogen-like lawrencium are calculated with both multiconfiguration Hartree–Fock (MCHF) and multiconfiguration Dirac–Fock (MCDF) methods. The calculations contain Breit–Pauli relativistic corrections in MCHF calculation and the transverse photon and quantum electrodynamics (QED) effects in MCDF calculation along with electron correlations. In addition, some transition parameters (wavelengths, λ, logarithmic weighted oscillator strengths, log(gf) value, and transition probabilities, Aki) for allowed (E1) and forbidden (E2 and M1) transitions are investigated. The results from this study are compared with only a few theoretical works, but there is no available experimental data yet for Lr102+.

Abstract Atomic data of highly charged ions (HCIs) offer an attractive means for plasma diagnostic and stars identification, and the investigations on atomic data are highly desirable. Herein, based on the fully relativistic multi-configuration Dirac-Hartree-Fock (MCDHF) method, we have performed calculations of the fine structure energy levels, wavelengths, transition rates, oscillator strengths, and line strengths for the lowest 21 states of 3p63d8 - 3p53d9 electric dipole (E1) transitions configurations in Fe-like ions (Z = 57, 60, 62, 64, 65). The correlation effects of valence-valence (VV) and core-valence (CV) electrons were systematically considered. In addition, we have taken into account transverse-photon (Breit) interaction and quantum electrodynamics (QED) corrections to treat accurately the atomic state wave functions in the final relativistic configuration interaction (RCI) calculations. Our calculated energy levels and transition wavelengths are in excellent agreement with the available experimental and theoretical results. Most importantly, we predicted some new transition parameters that have not yet been reported. These data would further provide critical insights into better analyzing the physical processes of various astrophysical plasmas.

Aims. The aim of this work is to present accurate and extensive results of energy spectra and transition data for the S II, Cl III, and Ar IV ions. These data are useful for understanding and probing physical processes and conditions in various types of astrophysical plasmas.Methods. The multiconfiguration Dirac–Hartree–Fock (MCDHF) and relativistic configuration interaction (RCI) methods, which are implemented in the general-purpose relativistic atomic structure package GRASP2K, are used in the present work. In the RCI calculations the transverse-photon (Breit) interaction, the vacuum polarization, and the self-energy corrections are included.Results. Energy spectra are presented comprising the 134, 87, and 103 lowest states in S II, Cl III, and Ar IV, respectively. Energy levels are in very good agreement with NIST database recommended values and associated with smaller uncertainties than energies from other theoretical computations. Electric dipole (E1), magnetic dipole (M1), and electric quadrupole (E2) transition data are computed between the above states together with the corresponding lifetimes. Based on internal validation, transition rates for the majority of the stronger transitions are estimated to have uncertainties of less than 3%.

The transition parameters such as the wavelengths, weighted oscillator strengths, and transition probabilities (or rates) for the nd (n=5−9)−nf (n=4−8), nd (n=5−9)−np (n=6−9), np (n=6−9)−ns (n=6−10), and ng (n=5−8)−nf (n=4−8) electric dipole (E1) transitions of doubly ionized lanthanum (La III, Z=57) have been calculated using the relativistic Hartree-Fock (HFR) method. In this method, configuration interaction and relativistic effects have been included in the computations combined with a least squares fitting of the Hamiltonian eigenvalues to the observed energy levels. We have compared the results obtained from this work with the previously available calculations and experiments in literature. We have also reported new transitions with the weighted transition probabilities greater than or equal to 105.

Radiative Processes

The interpretation of chromospheric and coronal spectra requires accurate ionization and recombination rates, collision strengths and transition probabilities. Recent projects to improve calculations of opacities in stellar interiors have led to a large amount of new atomic data. Some current and potential applications of atomic data to chromospheric and coronal spectra are mentioned below.Strong chromospheric lines are optically thick, and the solution of the radiative transfer equations can depend on atomic data for other species contributing to the background opacity. Many lines in the spectra of stars with hot coronae are excited by electron collisions, but in the cooler non-coronal giants radiative processes involving the H Lyman α and β lines become more important (see Jordan 1988a). Photo-ionization rates from ground configuration excited terms and oscillator strengths to high levels are still needed.Fe II is an important ion producing emission lines in stellar chromospheres. Several excitation mechanisms contribute to the observed spectra (Jordan 1988b). Permitted lines to the ground term and low lying metastable terms have high optical depths and transfer photons to spin forbidden lines sharing a common upper level (e.g. mults. uv 1 and uv 3 transfer photons to mults. uv 32 and 61). Line intensity ratios yield the optical depth in the optically thick lines. The strong H Ly α line in cool giants and supergiants excites high levels in Fe II, resulting in strong decays in multiplets such as uv 391 and 399. A large number of f-values are required to interpret the lines formed by these radiative processes. Nahar & Pradhan (1994) have published some results from the Opacity Project, calculated by using the close coupling method and observed energy levels (which introduce some allowance for relativistic effects). In most cases these f-values agree with experimental results and the calculations by Kurucz (1988) to within 10%. The latter are still needed for the interpretation of stellar uv spectra because of the treatment of spin-forbidden lines.

Abstract Energy levels, wavelengths, weighted oscillator strengths, transition probabilities and lifetimes are calculated for all levels of 1s 2 and 1snl (n = 2–6) configurations of He-like cadmium ion (Cd XLVII). The calculations were carried out using three codes GRASP2018, FAC and AMBiT in order to provide theoretically the most accurate data. Transition probabilities are reported for all the E1, E2, M1 and M2 transitions. Breit interactions and quantum electrodynamics effects are included in the RCI calculations. Comparisons were made with other calculations and a good agreement was found which confirms the reliability of our results. We present some missing data for the He-like cadmium in this paper for the first time.

Energy levels, lifetimes, and wavefunction compositions have been calculated for all levels of odd parity 3s23p5 ground configuration as well as 3s3p6 and 3s23p43d even parity excited configurations in highly charged Cl-like tungsten ion. Transition probabilities, oscillator strengths, and line strengths for E1, E2, M1, and M2 transitions have been obtained using the fully relativistic multiconfiguration Dirac–Fock (MCDF) approach including the correlations within the n = 3 complex, some n = 3 → n = 4 single and double excitations and Breit and quantum electrodynamics effects. For comparison from our calculated energy levels, we have also calculated the energy levels by using the fully relativistic flexible atomic code (FAC). The validity of the method is assessed by comparison with previously published experimental and theoretical data. The excellent agreement observed between our calculated results and those obtained using different approaches confirm the accuracy of our results. Additionally, we have predicted some new atomic data for W57+ that are not available so far and may be important for plasma diagnostic analysis in fusion plasma.

Energy levels, wavefunction compositions, and lifetimes are computed for all levels of 4s24p5, 4s24p44d, and 4s4p6 configurations in Br-like ions (Z = 47–50). We use the multiconfigurational Dirac–Fock method to generate the wavefunctions. We also present the transition wavelengths, oscillator strengths, transition probabilities, and line strengths for the electric dipole (E1) transition from the ground state configuration. We compare our calculated results with the available data in the literature and good agreement is obtained, which confirms the quality of our results. Moreover, we predict some new atomic data that have not been available so far and may be important for plasma diagnostic analysis in fusion plasma.
