Mg VII - VERSION 4.2

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. 

     
%energy levels (n=2): Edlen, B., 1985, Physica Scripta, 31, 345
%energy levels (n=3): Martin, W.C., Sugar, J., Musgrove, A., Dalton, G.R., 1995, 
   NIST Database for Atomic Spectroscopy, Version 1.0, NIST Standard Reference Database 61.
%Theoretical energy levels: Bhatia, A.K.,Doscheck, G.A., ADNDT, 60, 145, 1995 
% produced as part of the Arcetri/Cambridge/NRL 'CHIANTI' atomic data base collaboration

%  E.Landi 2000

  2. mg_7.wgfa (radiative data)

    3. 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. 

     
%observed energy levels (n=2): Edlen, B., 1985, Physica Scripta, 31, 345
%observed energy levels (n=3): Martin, W.C., Sugar, J., Musgrove, A., Dalton, G.R., 1995,

%oscillator strengths: Bhatia, A.K., Doscheck, G.A.,1995, ADNDT, 60, 145
%A-values (2-4 and 3-4 transitions): Storey PJ, Zeippen CJ, MNRAS 312, 813, 2000

  3. mg_7.splups (electron collision data)

    4. 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.
