Title: Atomic data and spectral line intensities for Si XI

Abstract

Electron impact collision strengths, energy levels, oscillator strengths and spontaneous radiative decay rates are calculated for Si XI. The configurations used are 2s{sup 2}, 2s2p, 2p{sup 2}, 2l3l', 2l4l' and 2s5l', with l = s,p and l' = s,p,d giving rise to 92 fine-structure levels in intermediate coupling. Collision strengths are calculated at five incident energies (35, 70, 105, 140, and 175 Ry) in the distorted wave approximation. Excitation rate coefficients are calculated as a function of electron temperature by assuming a Maxwellian electron velocity distribution. Using the excitation rate coefficients and the radiative transition rates of the present work, and R-Matrix results for the 2s{sup 2}, 2s2p, 2p{sup 2} configurations available in the literature, statistical equilibrium equations for level populations are solved at electron densities covering the range of 10{sup 8}-10{sup 14} cm{sup -3} at an electron temperature of log T {sub e}(K) = 6.2, corresponding to the maximum abundance of Si XI. Spectral line intensities are calculated, and their diagnostic relevance is discussed. This dataset will be made available in the next version of the CHIANTI database.

    Electron impact collision strengths and spontaneous radiative decay rates are calculated for Fe XI. The data pertain to the 48 levels of the configurations 3s{sup 2}3p{sup 4}, 3s3p{sup 5}, 3s{sup 2}3p{sup 3}3d, and 3p{sup 6}. Collision strengths are calculated at three incident electron energies, 8.0, 16.0, and 24.0 Ry. Relative spectral line intensities are calculated for all astrophysically important transitions. These are obtained by computing the excitation rate coefficients, i.e., the collision strengths integrated over a Maxwellian electron distribution, and then solving the equations of detailed balance for the populations of the 48 energy levels, assuming a collisional excitation modelmore » and an electron temperature of 1.3 x 10{sup 6} K. This temperature is typical for Fe XI when formed in equilibrium by collisional ionization and recombination. Using the excitation rate coefficients and the radiative decay rates, level populations are computed for several electron densities and are given in this paper. The authors also investigate the effects of proton excitation and solar radiative excitation on the level populations and line intensities. Finally, the calculated relative line intensities are compared with experimental solar intensities where available. 24 refs., 5 tabs.« less

    Electron impact collision strengths, energy levels, oscillator strengths, and spontaneous radiative decay rates are calculated for Ni XI. We include in the calculations the 12 lowest configurations, corresponding to 180 fine-structure levels: 3s{sup 2}3p{sup 6}, s{sup 2}3p{sup 5}3d, 3s{sup 2}3p{sup 4}3d{sup 2}, 3s3p{sup 6}3d, 3s{sup 2}3p{sup 5}4l, and 3s3p{sup 6}4l with l = s, p, d, f. Collision strengths are calculated at five incident energies for all transitions: 7.45, 17.6, 31.4, 50.1, and 75.2 Ry above the threshold of each transition. An additional energy, very close to the transition threshold, has been added, whose value is between 0.0007 Ry andmore » 0.25 Ry depending on the levels involved. Calculations have been carried out using the Flexible Atomic Code. The scattering problem is solved in the distorted wave approximation. Excitation rate coefficients are calculated as a function of electron temperature by assuming a Maxwellian electron velocity distribution. Using the excitation rate coefficients and the radiative transition rates of the present work, combined with close coupling collision excitation rate coefficients available in the literature for the lowest 17 levels, statistical equilibrium equations for level populations are solved at electron densities covering the range of 10{sup 8}-10{sup 14} cm{sup -3} and at an electron temperature of logT{sub e}K=6.1, corresponding to the maximum abundance of Ni XI. Spectral line intensities are calculated, and their diagnostic relevance is discussed. This dataset will be made available in the next version of the CHIANTI database.« less

    The electron impact collision strengths and the spontaneous radiative decay rates are presented for the following ions of the Ne isoelectronic sequence: Si V, Ar IX, TI XIII, Fe XVII, Ge XXIII and Kr XXVII. Data are given for the 27 levels that belong to four different configurations (2s/sup 2/2p/sup 6/, 2s/sup 2/2p/sup 5/3s, 2s/sup 2/2p/sup 5/3p, and 2s/sup 2/2p/sup 5/3d). By use of the atomic data calculations of the above-mentioned ions, the atomic data for all the ions with 14< or =Z< or =36 have been interpolated. Energy levels and level populations are presented for all the even-Z ionsmore » with 14< or =Z< or =36 (Si V, S VII, Ar IX, Ca XI, Ti XIII, Cr XV, Fe XVII, Ni XIX, Zn XXI, Ge XXIII, Se XXV, and Kr XXVII). The level populations are given for the three electron densities 10/sup 13/, 10/sup 14/, and 10/sup 15/ cm/sup -3/. Spectral line intensities are also presented for all transitions with intensities within two orders of magnitude of the most intense line in each ion.« less

    Electron impact collision strengths and spontaneous radiative decay rates are calculated for Ni XVL. The data pertain to the 40 levels of the configurations 3s{sup 2}3p, 3s3p{sup 2}, 3s{sup 2}3d, 3p{sup 3}, and 3s3p3d. Collision strengths are calculated at five incident electron energies: 10.0, 20.0, 30.0, 40.0 and 50.0 Ry. Relative spectral line intensities are calculated for all astrophysically important transitions. These are obtained by computing the excitation rate coefficients (cm{sup 3} s{sup {minus}1}), that is, the collision strengths integrated over a Maxwellian electron distribution, and then solving the equations of detailed balance for the populations of the 40 energymore » levels, assuming a collisional excitation model and an electron temperature of 2.51 {times} 10{sup 6} K. This temperature is typical for Ni XVI when formed in equilibrium by collisional ionization and recombination. With the excitation rate coefficients and the radiative decay rates, level populations are computed for several electron densities and are given in this paper. The authors investigate the effects of proton excitation and solar radiative excitation on the level populations and line intensities.« less
