Electron impact excitation collision strength for transitions in C II.

TAYAL S.S.

Abstract (from CDS):

Oscillator strengths and electron impact excitation collision strengths for C II lines among the fine-structure levels are calculated. Thermally averaged collision strengths are presented as a function of electron temperature for application to astrophysical plasmas. An accurate description of the target wave functions has been obtained in the multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock approach with flexible non-orthogonal orbitals. The 42 fine-structure levels of the 2s22p, 2s2p2, 2s23l (l=0-2), 2p3, 2s24l (l=0-3), 2s2p3s and 2s25l (l=0-2) configurations have been included in the scattering calculation. A second calculation with lowest 35 levels in the close-coupling expansion has also been carried out to check channel coupling effects on collision strengths. The continuum functions have been represented by the use of B-spline basis. The B-spline R-matrix method in the framework of Breit-Pauli approximation has been used to investigate the electron impact excitation of forbidden and allowed transitions in C II. The present cross sections for the resonance 2P°-2s2p2 2D, 2S and intercombination 2P°-2s2p2 4P transitions are in very good agreement with the electron energy-loss merged-beams experiment. Oscillator strengths and transition probabilities for C II lines normally compare very well with previous calculation. The effective collision strengths are obtained by integrating total resonant and non-resonant collision strengths over a Maxwellian distribution of electron energies and these are presented over a wide temperature range suitable for modeling of astrophysical plasmas. Our effective collision strengths show significant differences with those from previous calculations for transitions involving higher excitation levels.

within arcsec The VizieR photometry tool allows for easy visualization of photometry points extracted around the Simbad position from photometry-enabled catalogues in VizieR.
The search radius has to be specified by the user. It is currently limited to a maximum of 30 arcsec. It depends mostly on the precision or quality of the coordinates (SIMBAD and VizieR catalogs), the resolution of the images from which the sources were extracted, source extent, and source crowding.
Suggestions are: crowded field: 0.5 to 1.5 arcsec, 3 arcsec otherwise; uncertain coordinates (SIMBAD quality E or coordinates without reference): 5 to 30 arsec (risky!). sed-help-icon
