Fe XIII - VERSION 6.0


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.

    %A-values: Young, P.R., 2004, A&A, 417, 785
    %comment: In Young (2004) the current A-values are compared with those in earlier
        versions of CHIANTI and excellent agreement is found.

  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.

  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.
