Mg VII - VERSION 6.0


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

  1. mg_7.elvlc (energy levels)
  2. contains the energy levels in cm^(-1) It includes both experimental and theoretical values of the levels energies.

  3. mg_7.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.

  5. mg_7.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.

    %oscillator strengths: Bhatia, A.K., Doschek, G.A., 1995, ADNDT, 60, 145
    %upsilons (ground configuration, levels 1 to 5): Lennon, D.J., Burke, V.M., 1994, A&AS, 103, 273
    %upsilons (ground configuration, levels 1 to 5): Aggarwal, K, 1984, Sol. Phys., 94, 75
    %upsilons (ground configuration, levels 1 to 5): Aggarwal, K, 1984, ApJS, 56, 303
    %collision strengths (all other transitions): Bhatia, A.K., Doschek, G.A., 1995, ADNDT, 60, 145
    %comment: The Lennon & Burke upsilons are tabulated between logT=3.0-5.0, and the
         T_max of Mg VII is 5.7. The Aggarwal data go up to logT=7.7. I've thus
         used all of the Lennon & Burke data and appended the Aggarwal data for
         temperatures logT=5.2-7.6. It was necessary to scale the Aggarwal by
         the ratio of the Lennon & Burke data to the Aggarwal data at logT=5.0
         to ensure a smooth join between the two data-sets. The scale factor
         varied from 0.82 (4-5) to 1.19 (1-5).
         The fits to the ground configuration upsilons are accurate to 1.2% over
         the temperature range logT=3.8-6.2.
