Electric dipole oscillator strengths (f values) have been calculated for a large number of singlet and triplet S–P, P–D, and D–F transitions in the helium isoelectronic sequence through O+6. The analytical orbital wave functions employed were of frozen-core type, and generally produce very good agreement between length and velocity values of the calculated oscillator strengths. A conspicuous exception occurs in many cases where the principal quantum number remains unchanged in the transition, and the more reliable dipole length values have been adopted for such transitions. The smooth variation of the calculated f values as functions of the inverse of the nuclear charge Z provided a sensitive check on the accuracy of the computations and indicated a considerable number of P–D transitions where the velocity values seemed the more reliable. Wherever comparison data are available, our calculated oscillator strengths are in excellent agreement with the most accurate values; in other cases, the absolute uncertainty in the f values should in no case exceed 5%.

Hartree–Fock wave functions for a number of S, P, and D states of the lithium isoelectronic sequence have been calculated, using a simplified procedure described in an earlier paper. Transition matrix elements for all permitted dipole transitions between these states have been computed using both the dipole length and the dipole velocity formulations. The results are in good agreement with earlier calculations.

Orbital wave functions for a number of singlet and triplet S, P, and D states of the helium sequence through C+4 have been calculated using an approximation described earlier. The wave functions have been employed to calculate the oscillator strengths for all allowed dipole transitions between these states, using both the length and velocity forms of the transition matrix element. Our results are in good agreement with the most accurate values available.

Orbital wave functions for a number of 2S, 2P0, 2D, and 2F0 states of Na, Mg+, and Al2+ have been calculated by means of the frozen core approximation. The oscillator strengths of all allowed dipole transitions have been determined using both length and velocity formulations for the transition matrix element; these results agree with each other to within a few percent.

The length, velocity and acceleration forms of the dipole transition operator are examined in calculations of diagram and satellite X-ray emission probabilities in the Ne + to Ar 9 + isoelectronic series. All calculations are within the relaxed nonrelativistic Hartree-Fock framework, using separately optimized numerical wavefunctions for the initial and final electronic states. Divergence between the alternative forms of the transition moment, as the principal quantum 'number of the Rydberg electron and nuclear charge are increased, is discussed in the context of electron correlation differences between the initial and final states.

Theoretical multiplet strengths for electric quadrupole transitions between 2S, 2P0, 2D, and 2F0 levels of Na I, Mg II, and Al III have been calculated using Hartree–Fock wave functions of frozen-core type. The resulting 2S–2D oscillator strengths for Na I are in good agreement with calculations by Bogaard and Orr, Boyle and Murray, and Warner; however, for Mg II there is a discrepancy of a factor of 2 between our results and those of Warner.
