Detailed Opacity Calculations for Astrophysical Applications

  • Jean-Christophe Pain,
  • Franck Gilleron and
  • Maxime Comet

30 May 2017

Nowadays, several opacity codes are able to provide data for stellar structure models, but the computed opacities may show significant differences. In this work, we present state-of-the-art precise spectral opacity calculations, illustrated by stella...

  • Gerry O’Sullivan

21 May 2017

Configuration interaction (CI) effects can greatly influence the way in which extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft X-ray (SXR) spectra of heavier ions are dominated by emission from unresolved transition arrays (UTAs), the most intense of which origina...

Radiative Rates and Electron Impact Excitation Rates for Transitions in He II

  • Kanti M. Aggarwal,
  • Akinori Igarashi,
  • Francis P. Keenan and
  • Shinobu Nakazaki

2 May 2017

We report calculations of energy levels, radiative rates, collision strengths and effective collision strengths for transitions among the lowest 25 levels of the n ≤ 5 configurations of He II. The general-purpose relativistic atomic structure...
