Abstract:
    The first large-scale calculations of relativistic radiative
    transition probabilities from the Iron Project is reported for dipole
    allowed and intercombination (E1) transitions in Li-like Fe XXIV and
    He-like Fe XXV. The ab intio calculations are carried out in the close
    coupling approximation using the Breit-Pauli R-matrix method in
    intermediate coupling characterized by SLJ, with total (2S+1)=2,4,
    L=7, J=1/2-11/2 even and odd parity, for Fe XXIV, and with total
    (2S+1)=1,3, L=9, and J=0-4 for Fe XXV. The eigenfunction expansions
    for the target ions include 13 levels up to the n=3 for Fe XXV, and 16
    levels up to the n=4 for Fe XXVI, respectively. The calculated number
    of bound levels, 83 for Fe XXIV and 138 for Fe XXV, is much larger
    than experimentally observed. The level energies are in good agreement
    for the common levels. All dipole and intercombination fine structure
    transitions involving the calculated bound levels up to n=10 and l=5
    or 6 are considered. Oscillator strengths, line strengths, and
    Einstein A-coefficients are tabulated for 802 transitions in Fe XXIV
    and 2579 transitions in Fe XXV. The results compare well with limited
    subsets of transitions considered in previous works including fully
    relativistic and QED corrections. Additional comparisons between the
    length and the velocity formulations indicate an overall accuracy
    between 1-10%. The range of uncertainty is indicative of the
    relatively small influence of atomic effects, such as the two-body
    Breit interaction terms and finite nuclear mass term, that are not
    included in the Breit-Pauli approximation employed in the present
    calculations. The extensive set of data is expected to be useful in
    the analysis of X-ray and XUV spectra from astrophysical sources.
