Description:
    The effective collision strengths are presented in this table for
    all transitions among the lowest 23 fine-structure levels of Mg VI.
    Each fine-structure level is assigned an index number in Table 3
    of the manuscript ranging from 1 to 23. These index values are
    reproduced here in Table 5 to depict a particular transition.
    eg. Index 1-3 denotes the transition
    2s(2)2p(3)4SO(3/2)-2s(2)2p(3)2DO(5/2)
    The effective collision strengths for each transition are presented
    in rows for a number of electron temperatures ranging from
    log(T)=5.0 to log(T)=6.1. A superscript indicates the power of 10
    by which the number should be multiplied.
