Absolute transition probabilities have been measured for lines originating from the 5d96d and 5d97s electronic configurations in the spectrum of singly ionized gold (Au  ii ). The laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy has been applied to free gold atoms and ions produced by laser ablation. Absolute transition probabilities have been determined using the branching fraction and the Boltzmann plot methods. Theoretical branching fractions as well as radiative lifetime values have also been obtained by a relativistic Hartree–Fock method taking core polarization and configuration interaction effects into account. The new results are compared with previous results when available.  相似文献

Soft X-ray observations from comets are analysed on the assumption that the X-rays arise from electron captures by multiply charged ions of the solar wind in collisions with the neutral atoms and molecules of the cometary atmospheres. The collisions populate excited states of the ion formed in the transfer of charge which then decay in a cascade of radiative transitions in the soft X-ray and ultraviolet regions of the spectrum. A comparison of detailed models of the resulting spectra with observations of Comet McNaught-Hartley yield information on the solar wind ion composition. A similar process in which solar wind ions interact with neutral atoms in the heliosphere contributes to the diffuse soft X-ray background. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Dipole lengths and dipole velocities have been determined for a series of transitions in N IV, O V and O VI. Some of these transitions are of astrophysical interest and the remainder were computed to give a more complete picture of the transitions in the respective ions. With the dipole length and dipole velocity known the line strengths and, therefore, the transition probabilities can be readily obtained. Agreement between dipole length and dipole velocity has been obtained in most cases.  相似文献

Assuming steady state conditions, the occupation of 9 levels of oxygen-like ions: Ne iii, Mg v, Si vii, S ix, and Ar xi have been computed as a function of electron density and temperature. The following physical processes have been considered: collisional excitations and spontaneous radiative de-excitations for permitted and intercombination transitions; collisional excitations and de-excitations, photo-excitations and spontaneous radiative transitions among the five levels of the ground term. This study indicates that line intensity ratios for oxygen-like ions can be used as a diagnostic in the determination of these two parameters of the solar plasma.Paper presented at the 4th Astronomical Society of India Meeting, held at Radio Astronomy Centre, Ootacamund, India, 7–10 March 1978.  相似文献

We have measured the radiative lifetime of the 2s22p4 1S0 metastable level of Ne2+ (Ne iii) to be 223+/-11 ms at the 90% confidence level by observing the photons emitted at 1815 ? by a decaying population of 1S0 Ne2+ ions produced and stored in a radio-frequency ion trap. This is the first lifetime measurement for an excited term of a ground configuration ion in the second row of the periodic table. The transition probabilities (A-values) for the forbidden transitions in the ground configurations of these ions are required for astrophysical line-ratio diagnostics. Using calculated branching ratios, we estimate that A&parl0;lambda1815&parr0;=1.94+/-0.17 and A&parl0;lambda3344&parr0;=2.55+/-0.19 s-1. Because these numbers have a sum with an experimentally determined uncertainty of 5%, they will provide more accurate results than the calculated A-values for determining electron temperature and density from astrophysical Ne iii line ratios.  相似文献

Radiative parameters for transitions depopulating the levels belonging to the 4d85s2, 4d96s and 4d95d configurations of Ag  ii have been obtained from a combination of theoretical lifetimes and experimental branching fractions. On the experimental side, a laser-produced plasma was used as a source of Ag+ ions. The light emitted by the plasma was analysed by a grating monochromator coupled with a time-resolved optical multichannel analyser system. Spectral response calibration of the experimental system was performed using a deuterium lamp in the wavelength range from 200 to 400 nm, and a standard tungsten lamp in the range from 350 to 600 nm. The transition probabilities were obtained from measured branching ratios and theoretical radiative lifetimes of the corresponding states calculated with a relativistic Hartree–Fock approach including core-polarization effects and configuration interaction in an extensive way. Theoretical and experimental data have been compared and the new data have also been compared with the few previous results available in the literature.  相似文献

This is an extension study of the grand canonical approach of the equation of state to the equilibrium calculation for radiative opacities. We discuss the construction of atomic configurations from the ion stages and excitation states of atoms. The atomic configuration is essentially important to the grand canonical approach, and also useful to the radiative opacity calculation. We present the complete formalism for the calculation of atomic configuration probabilities and population fractions. We show that the grand canonical approach provides a shortcut in the computation of thermodynamic equilibrium. We mainly discuss its use in two cases for the equilibrium calculation.  相似文献

The magnetic-dipole probabilities for the 1D2–3P2 and 1D2–3P1 transitions in carbon-like and oxygen-like ions are calculated up to atomic number Z =12, including relativistic corrections to the magnetic dipole operator. The ratio of the probabilities for these two transitions is found to change by up to 5 per cent compared with previous theoretical work, none of which included these relativistic corrections, with the effect being largest for the near neutral ions. The transition probability ratio for the [O  iii ] 5007 and 4959 Å lines is found to be 3.01, implying an intensity ratio of 2.98, in significantly better agreement with the observed ratio than the earlier theoretical work.  相似文献

The results of recent quantum mechanical calculations of cross-sections for rotational transitions within the vibrational ground state of HD are used to evaluate the rate of radiative energy loss from gas containing HD, in addition to H, He and H2. The cooling function for HD (i.e. the rate of cooling per HD molecule) is evaluated in steady state on a grid of values of the relevant parameters of the gas, namely the gas density and temperature, the atomic to molecular hydrogen abundance ratio and the ortho:para-H2 density ratio. The corresponding cooling function for H2, previously computed by Le Bourlot et al., is slightly revised to take account of transitions induced by collisions with ground-state ortho-H2 ( J =1). The cooling functions and the data required for their calculation are available from http://ccp7.dur.ac.uk/. We then make a study of the rate of cooling of the primordial gas through collisions with H2 and HD molecules. In this case, radiative transitions induced by the cosmic background radiation field and, in the case of H2, collisional transitions induced by H+ ions should additionally be included.  相似文献

The spectrum of RR Telescopii in 1954 had a number of strong unidentified lines. To examine the possibility of some of these being due to Niiv we have calculated the energies of the 3d7 configuration of this ion. Estimates of the quantum-mechanical parameters have been made by extrapolation from known ions. Transition probabilities have been computed for magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole radiation for all possible transitions within the 3d7 configuration.Several predicted forbidden lines are in the region of unidentified lines in RR Telescopii; calculated energies are insufficiently accurate for definitive identifications to be made, but further laboratory work might lead to several identifications.  相似文献

Treating it as a boundary-value problem, the equations of highly excited state populations of atoms and ions are theoretically studied in case of recombining plasma. Scattering and spontaneous transitions as well as those induced by background radiation, are taken into account in the kinetic equations. The kinetic coefficients for inelastic scattering of incident charged particles on highly excited atoms and ions have been calculated in the asymptotically exact case: 1.6×105 (z/n)2)T e –1 1.The distribution functions over the Rydberg states, analytically found, allow to determine amplification factor and optical depth of radio-recombination lines as functions of cosmic plasma parameters.  相似文献

Recent observations of thermally emitting isolated neutron stars revealed spectral features that could be interpreted as radiative transitions of He in a magnetized neutron star atmosphere. We present Hartree–Fock calculations of the polarization-dependent photoionization cross-sections of the He atom in strong magnetic fields ranging from 1012 to 1014 G. Convenient fitting formulae for the cross-sections are given along with the related oscillator strengths for various bound–bound transitions. The effects of finite nucleus mass on the radiative absorption cross-sections are examined using perturbation theory.  相似文献

We study in some detail one-dimensional NLTE effects in solar Fei lines. The lines selected are frequently used in solar polarimetry, and also in studies of line asymmetries and for abundance determinations. Our model atom for Fei–Feii–Feiii is realistic: it takes account of multiplet structure and it includes over 200 bound–bound and bound–free transitions in detail. We use very efficient iterative methods for the self-consistent solution of the kinetic and radiative transfer equations (Auer, Fabiani Bendicho, and Trujillo Bueno, 1994). We have applied these fast methods of solution because they are suitable for the investigation of 2D and 3D NLTE transfer effects with multilevel atoms, which constitutes the next step of our ongoing research project on the iron line formation problem.  相似文献

We consider the problem of determining the radiation fields reflected and transmitted by a slab containing multilevel hydrogen atoms and illuminated on one side by a given radiation field. We treat the extreme non-LTE situation in which the populations of the different levels are determined by the radiative processes. We take into account the population and the transfer effects in a self-consistent way by solving the transfer equations in all the lines and continua together with the equations of statistical equilibrium for all levels. We limit ourselves to the idealistic case of rectangular profiles in the lines and continua and to a model of atoms with 4 levels and a continuum. Under conditions close to thermodynamic equilibrium we empirically derive a Schuster-like law for the continua with transmitted radiation fields varying as the inverse of the optical thickness. Turning to out-of-equilibrium conditions we emphasize the crucial role of the loss probability of the Ly photons. Owing to the rapid decrease of the excitation/ionization degree in the medium and contrary to the conservative case the optical thicknesses of the subordinate transitions now remain finite even when the population of the fundamental level along the line-of-sight becomes infinite. As a result of this relative transparency the strong emission lines formed by recombination mechanisms can escape from the medium. Although the present problem remains largely academic because of the number of simplifications introduced we suggest some possible applications and developments.Published in Astrofizika, Vol. 37, No. 2, pp. 313–338, April–June, 1994.  相似文献

Radiative lifetimes of nine odd levels in Hf III (5d6p z3P0,1, z1D2, z3D1,2,3, z3F2,3,4) and of two odd levels in Hf I (5d6s26p z3D2,3) have been determined using Time-Resolved Laser-Induced Fluorescence. The investigated levels in Hf I were excited in a single-step process from the ground term (5d26s2 a3F), whereas in Hf III we started from either the ground term 5d2 a3F or the low-lying 5d6s a3D term. For all of the investigated levels, the lifetimes have been measured for the first time. A multiconfiguration relativistic Hartree–Fock method, including core-polarization effects, has been used to compute radiative lifetimes of 15 Hf III levels, including those measured in this work. Transition probabilities for 55 transitions in Hf III are also given.  相似文献

To evaluate the effect of the cliff on the radiation field, the upwelling radiation at the top of the atmosphere is computed over the cliff using the reflection and transmission functions derived from the doubling-adding method. The model is defined by the plane-parallel homogeneous atmosphere, which is composed of aerosol and molecules, and is bounded by the top level surface, cliff and low level surface. These surfaces may be assumed to be the Lambertian.In the computational procedure, the equation for the emergent radiation is expanded into a series of radiative interaction modes among atmosphere, surfaces and the cliff. In respective modes, probabilities of respective interactions are firstly evaluated. With the aid of these probabilities, the emergent radiation is calculated using the doubling-adding method for the model atmosphere bounded by the surfaces and cliff, where the above radiative interactions are considered upto twice as large to obtain the enough accuracy of simulation. The multiple scattering is considered.  相似文献

Effective radiative recombination coefficients are calculated for atomic oxygen using an atomic model potential to obtain accurate non-hydrogenic transition probabilities of singly excited states. Results are presented for many lines for temperatures up to 3000 K. Simple analytic fits are given which are accurate for most lines.  相似文献

Populations for the first three bound states and the continuum of hydrogen are determined for an isothermal, hydrostatic atmosphere at 20 000 K. The atmosphere is treated as being optically thin in the Balmer and Paschen continua and illuminated by continuum radiation at these wavelengths with prescribed radiation temperatures. The atmosphere is optically thick in the 2-1, 3-1, 3-2 and c-1 transitions. Three stages of approximation are treated:
  1. radiative detailed balance in the 2-1, 3-1 and 3-2 transitions,
  2. radiative detailed balance in the 3-1 and 3-2 transitions, and
  3. all transitions out of detailed balance.
The solution of this problem is non-trivial, and presents sufficient difficulty to have caused failure of at least one rather standard technique. The problem is thus a good archetype against which new methods, or new implementations of old methods may be tested.  相似文献

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.  相似文献
