Energies, E1, E2 and M1 transition rates and lifetimes are reported for the lowest 134 fine-structure levels of the 3p{sup 6}3d{sup 2}, 3p{sup 6}3d4s, 3p{sup 5}3d{sup 3} and 3p{sup 6}3d4p configurations in all Ca-like ions between Co VIII and Zn XI. The calculations have been performed using the multiconfiguration Dirac–Hartree–Fock (MCDHF) and relativistic configuration interaction (RCI) methods. Important core–valance and core–core electron correlation effects are systematically accounted with large scale configuration interaction expansion. The Breit interaction and leading quantum-electrodynamical (QED) contributions such as the vacuum polarization and self-energy corrections are also included in the RCI calculations. The results are compared with the compiled data from the NIST ASD and other calculations to evaluate the accuracy of the present calculations. Our results have good agreement with previous relativistic many-body perturbation theory (RMBPT) calculations and the data from the NIST ASD, except for Zn XI. Present calculations provide some missing data, especially for Cu X and Zn XI, in the NIST ASD.
