A Laboratory Astrophysics Problem: The Lifetime of Very Long-Lived Levels in Low-Charge Ions
Emission lines of singly charged ions populate many astrophysical spectra. However, the interpretation of the line intensities (usually line ratios) often depends on the transition rates of the decays of very long-lived low-lying levels. For example, the line ratio of two electric-dipole forbidden t...
