Superstructure and Distorted-Wave Codes and Their Applications
There have been many observations of the solar and astrophysical spectra of various ions. The diagnostics of these observations require atomic data that include energy levels, oscillator strengths, transition rates, and collision strengths. These have been calculated using the Superstructure and Dis...

| description | There have been many observations of the solar and astrophysical spectra of various ions. The diagnostics of these observations require atomic data that include energy levels, oscillator strengths, transition rates, and collision strengths. These have been calculated using the Superstructure and Distorted-wave codes. We describe calculations for various ions. We calculate intensity ratios and compare them with observations to infer electron densities and temperatures of solar plasmas. |
