| Summary: | The fully relativistic, rigorous QED calculations of the self-energy correction to the fine-structure levels of heavy muonic atoms are reported, including rigorous predictions for excited states. We discuss nuclear model and parameter dependence for this contribution as well as numerical convergence issues. The presented results mostly agree with previously reported estimations, with some exceptions, including ones used for the determination of the nuclear root-mean-square radii, and underline the importance of rigorous QED calculations for the theoretical prediction of the spectra of muonic atoms.
