Fe XIII - VERSION 4.2


The CHIANTI database consists of the following primary ASCII files for this ion:

  1. fe_13.elvlc (energy levels)
  2. contains the energy levels in cm^(-1) It includes both experimental and theoretical values of the levels energies.

  3. fe_13.wgfa (radiative data)
  4. contains wavelengths, gf and A values of the transitions. The wavelengths are based on the experimental energy levels and should be the best available. Wavelengths calculated from the theoretical energies are of an indeterminate accuracy and their values are presented as negative values of the calculated wavelength.

    %Theoretical energy levels: Gupta, G.P., Tayal, S.S., 1998, ApJ, 506, 464
    % A values: computed from 'superstructure' using a 24 configuration model of Fe XIII.
    % comment: the model of Fe XIII included the following configurations:
        3s2 {3p2 3p3d 3d2}
        3s23p {4s 4p 4d 4f}
        3s3p2 {3d 4s 4p 4d 4f}
        3p3 {3d 4s 4p 4d}
        3s3d {4s 4p 4d 4f}
        3p4
        3s {3p3 3d3 3p3d2}
    % comment: level 18 is metastable, and can decay down to levels
        in the 3s3p^3 and 3s^23p3d configurations via electric quadrupole
        and magnetic dipole transitions. However, the strongest
        transitions are down to the ground configuration via two magnetic
        QUADRUPOLE transitions. These transitions are accurately known
        since the line strength hardly changes when extra configurations
        are added to the model.

  5. fe_13.splups (electron collision data)
  6. contains the spline fits to the electron collision strengths scaled according the rules formulated by Burgess and Tully (1992). Accurate replication of the temperature averaged collision strength over a wide range of temperatures can be accomplished with the data in this file.

    % effective collision strengths: Gupta, G.P., Tayal, S.S., 1998, ApJ, 506, 464
    %comment: effective collision strengths were given in the temperature range 5.7 < Log T < 6.7

  7. fe_13.psplups (proton collision data)
  8. contains the spline fits to the scaled proton collision strengths.

     
    
    %filename: fe_13.psplups
    %rates: Landman D.A., A&A 43, 285, 1975
    %energies: Landman D.A., A&A 43, 285, 1975
    %comment: Landman tabulates rates between the individual magnetic sublevels of 
        the ground configuration levels. For CHIANTI we sum over these 
        sublevels using Eq. 8 of Landman.
    %comment: These fits reproduce the original data to within 2%. The original 
        data cover the temperature range 1e-6 to 3e-6.
