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.
