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

  1. fe_20.elvlc (energy levels)
  2. contains the energy levels in cm^(-1) It includes both experimental and theoretical values of the levels energies.

  3. fe_20.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. fe_20.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.

    %collisional data (above ionization): Bautista, M.A., Mendoza, C., Kallman, T.R., Palmeri, P., 2004, A&A, 418, 1171
    %Comment: collision rates for levels 1-208,210,212,213,215-217,219 were obtained by summing DW calculations
      from FAC with the resonance excitation rates published in Gu, M.F., 2003, ApJ, 582, 1241
    %comment: effective collision strengths for the ground configuration were provided in the temperature range 5.0 < Log T < 8.0
    %comment: effective collision strengths for levels 14,15 were provided in the temperature range 5.0 < Log T < 7.6
    %comment: effective collision strengths from the Flexible Atomic Code were provided in the temperature range 1.16e6 < T < 5.8e7

  7. fe_20.psplups (proton collision data)
  8. contains the spline fits to the scaled proton collision strengths.

     
    
    %filename: fe_20.psplups
    %rates: Bhatia, A.K., Mason, H.E., 1980, A&A 83, 380
    %energies: Bhatia, A.K., Mason, H.E., 1980, A&A 83, 380
    %comments: The fits are good to < 3%. An acceptable fit could not be found to 
        the 1 - 4 transition and so it was omitted. The rates for this 
        transition are around 1e-12 and so it is not important.
