Lifetimes of six levels belonging to the 4f106p configuration of Ho  iii have been measured for the first time using the time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence method. They are compared with multiconfigurational pseudo-relativistic Hartree–Fock calculations. A very good agreement is found. Using the experimental lifetimes and theoretical branching fractions, a first set of transition probabilities of astrophysical interest has been obtained for this ion.  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

Radiative lifetimes of 17 excited levels in Zr  i , in the energy interval 29 000–40 974 cm−1, have been investigated using the time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence method. The levels belong to the 4d25s5p, 4d35p and 4d5s25p electronic configurations and were excited in a single-step process from either the ground term, 4d25s2 a 3F, or from the low-lying 4d25s2 a 3P and a 5F terms. For three levels, we confirm previous measurements while for 14 of the levels the lifetimes have been measured for the first time. The experimental results are compared to theoretical calculations performed with a multiconfiguration relativistic Hartree–Fock method including core-polarization effects. Theoretical transition probabilities of astrophysical interest, scaled by the experimental lifetimes, for the depopulating channels of the investigated levels are also presented.  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

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

Effective collision strengths for the 10 astrophysically important fine-structure forbidden transitions among the 4So, 2Do and 2Po 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 4So ground state level, particularly for the lowest temperatures considered. At the higher temperatures, the present data are the only reliable results currently available.  相似文献

Effective collision strengths for electron-impact excitation of the N-like ion Ne  iv are calculated in the close-coupling approximation using the multichannel R-matrix method. Specific attention is given to the 10 astrophysically important fine-structure forbidden transitions among the 4So, 2Do and 2Po levels in the 2s22p3 ground-state configuration. The expansion of the total wavefunction incorporates the lowest 11 LS eigenstates of Ne  iv , consisting of eight n  = 2 terms with configurations 2s22p3, 2s2p4 and 2p5, together with three n  = 3 states of configuration 2s22p23s. We present in graphical form the effective collision strengths obtained by thermally averaging the collision strengths over a Maxwellian distribution of velocities, for all 10 fine-structure transitions, over the range of electron temperatures log T (K) = 3.6 to log T (K) = 6.1 (the range appropriate for astrophysical applications). Comparisons are made with the earlier, less sophisticated close-coupling calculation of Giles, and excellent agreement is found in the limited temperature region where a comparison is possible [log T (K) = 3.7 to log T (K) = 4.3]. At higher temperatures the present data are the only reliable results currently available.  相似文献

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

Effective collision strengths for electron-impact excitation of the N-like ion S  x are calculated in the close-coupling approximation using the multichannel R -matrix method. Specific attention is given to the 10 astrophysically important fine-structure forbidden transitions among the 4So, 2Do and 2Po levels in the 2s22p3 ground configuration. The total (e−+ion) wavefunction is expanded in terms of the 11 lowest LS eigenstates of S  x , and each eigenstate is represented by extensive configuration-interaction wavefunctions. The collision strengths obtained are thermally averaged over a Maxwellian distribution of velocities, for all 10 fine-structure transitions, over the range of electron temperatures log  T (K)=4.6–6.7 (the range appropriate for astrophysical applications). The present effective collision strengths are the only results currently available for these fine-structure transition rates.  相似文献

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.  相似文献

We have calculated oscillator strengths for the J – J ' levels of the a  6D– z  6Po, the a  6D– z  6Do and the a  6D– z  6Fo multiplets in Fe  ii , using configuration interaction wave functions. The importance of the mixing of the 6Po, 6Do and 6Fo 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.  相似文献

Radiative lifetime measurements were performed with time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence techniques for 24 levels of Nd  ii in the energy range 20 500–32 500 cm−1. For 17 levels, no previous experimental data exist. These results have allowed the testing of new theoretical calculations with the relativistic Hartree–Fock method taking configuration interactions and core-polarization effects into account, and a satisfying agreement has been found for this complex ion. A new set of calculated oscillator strengths, accurate within a few per cent for the strongest transitions, is presented for 107 lines of astrophysical interest appearing in the wavelength range 358.0–1100.0 nm. These results will be useful to evaluate abundance values of neodymium in chemically peculiar stars in relation with cosmochronology.  相似文献

An inspection of a GHRS/ HST spectrum of the symbiotic star RR Telescopii reveals the presence of the [Al  ii ] 3s21S – 3s3p 3P2 line at a vacuum wavelength of 2661.06±0.08 Å, 8.89±0.08 Å away from the Al  ii ] 3s21S – 3s3p 3P1 intercombination transition at 2669.95 Å, in good agreement with the theoretical prediction of Δ λ =8.80 Å. We also find that the Al  ii ] line profile is asymmetric, showing a strong low-density component with a weak high-density wing, redshifted by 30 km s−1, in agreement with the findings of Schild & Schmid, which were based on optical observations. Our measurement of the emission-line ratio R I (2661.06 Å)/ I (2669.95 Å)=0.027±0.003 implies log  N e=5.8±0.2, in good agreement with the densities found from other ions, such as Si  iii . These results provide strong evidence that we have detected the [Al  ii ] line, the first time (to our knowledge) that this feature has been reliably identified in an astrophysical or laboratory spectrum.  相似文献

The ab initio R -matrix method is used to calculate effective collision strengths for electron-impact excitation of the sulphur-like ion Cl  ii in the close-coupling approximation. All 10 astrophysically important fine-structure forbidden transitions within the 3s23p4     ,     ,     ground configuration levels are considered. The 12 lowest LS target states are included in the calculation. Effective collision strengths are obtained by averaging the electron collision strengths over a Maxwellian distribution of electron velocities. Results are presented for electron temperatures in the range  log  T (K)=3.3  to  log  T (K)=5.5  , appropriate for astrophysical applications. These are the only effective collision strength data that are currently available.  相似文献

Phase-resolved medium-resolution VLT spectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary GX 9+9 has revealed narrow C  iii emission lines that move in phase relative to our new estimate of the ephemeris, and show a velocity amplitude of 230 ± 35 km s−1. We identify the origin of these lines as coming from the surface of the donor star, thereby providing the first estimate of the mass function of   f ( M 1) ≥ 0.22 M⊙  . Rotational broadening estimates together with assumptions for the mass donor give  0.07 ≤ q ≤ 0.35  and  182 ≤ K 2≤ 406 km s−1  . Despite a low-mass ratio, there is no evidence for a superhump in our data set. Doppler maps of GX 9+9 show the presence of a stream overflow, either in the form of material flowing downward along the accretion disc rim or in a similar fashion as occurs in high mass transfer rate cataclysmic variables known as the SW Sex stars. Finally, we note that the Bowen region in GX 9+9 is dominated by C  iii instead of N  iii emission as has been the case for most other X-ray binaries.  相似文献

Recent fully relativistic calculations of radiative rates and electron impact excitation cross-sections for Fe  xiii are used to generate emission-line ratios involving 3s23p2–3s3p3 and 3s23p2–3s23p3d transitions in the 170–225 and 235–450 Å wavelength ranges covered by the Solar Extreme-Ultraviolet Research Telescope and Spectrograph (SERTS). A comparison of these line ratios with SERTS active region observations from rocket flights in 1989 and 1995 reveals generally very good agreement between theory and experiment. Several new Fe  xiii emission features are identified, at wavelengths of 203.79, 259.94, 288.56 and 290.81 Å. However, major discrepancies between theory and observation remain for several Fe  xiii transitions, as previously found by Landi and others, which cannot be explained by blending. Errors in the adopted atomic data appear to be the most likely explanation, in particular for transitions which have 3s23p3d 1D2 as their upper level. The most useful Fe  xiii electron-density diagnostics in the SERTS spectral regions are assessed, in terms of the line pairs involved being (i) apparently free of atomic physics problems and blends, (ii) close in wavelength to reduce the effects of possible errors in the instrumental intensity calibration, and (iii) very sensitive to changes in N e over the range  108–1011 cm−3  . It is concluded that the ratios which best satisfy these conditions are 200.03/202.04 and 203.17/202.04 for the 170–225 Å wavelength region, and 348.18/320.80, 348.18/368.16, 359.64/348.18 and 359.83/368.16 for 235–450 Å.  相似文献

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.  相似文献

New calculations of free–free transition matrix element integrals are performed using modern symbolic computing techniques to evaluate the hypergeometric functions with complex arguments. The results are presented in both graphical and tabular form including accurate extrapolation methods. The results are accurate to the level of ∼ 10−4, beyond which relativistic corrections would be needed, which are not included. The results are also computed over a very wide range of scaled ionic temperature (γ2) and wavelength, extending earlier results to new regimes encountered in highly photoionized and non-equilibrium ionization plasmas. These results will be useful in the spectral range from submillimetre to hard X-ray wavelengths and temperatures from 10 to 109 K.  相似文献

Recent R -matrix calculations of electron impact excitation rates for transitions among the 2s22p2, 2s2p3 and 2p4 levels of Fe  xxi are used to derive theoretical electron density ( N e) sensitive emission-line ratios involving 2s22p2–2s2p3 transitions in the ∼98–146Å wavelength range. A comparison of these with observations from the PLT tokamak plasma, for which the electron density has been independently determined, reveals generally very good agreement between theory and experiment, and in some instances removes discrepancies found previously. The observed Fe  xxi ratios for a solar flare, obtained with the OSO–5 satellite, imply electron densities which are consistent, with discrepancies that do not exceed 0.2 dex. In addition, the derived values of N e are similar to those estimated for the high-temperature regions of other solar flares. The good agreement between theory and observation, in particular for the tokamak spectra, provides experimental support for the accuracy of the present line-ratio calculations, and hence for the atomic data on which they are based.  相似文献

We report the first extensive measurements of hyperfine structure in Ta  ii . Spectra of Ta  ii were recorded by high-resolution Fourier transform spectrometry in the region  10 000–53 000 cm-1   (1886–10 000 Å)  and the majority of observed lines show significant hyperfine structure. Computer fits to several hundred of these line profiles have yielded values of the magnetic dipole hyperfine interaction constant A for 88 energy levels with an uncertainty of between 0.5 and 10 per cent for the majority of A factors. The A factors range from −0.078 to +0.065 cm−1 for the even levels and from −0.064 to +0.083 cm−1 for the odd levels. For the majority of these A factors no previous measurements are known. Approximate values of the electric quadrupole hyperfine interaction constant B were found for 73 levels. These measurements of A and B factors allow, for the first time, the effects of hyperfine structure in Ta  ii lines to be correctly accounted for both in abundance analysis and in the resolution of blended lines in astrophysical spectra.  相似文献
