Abstract:
    Collision strengths for fine-structure transitions among the levels of
    the (1s^2^) 2s^2^2p^2^, 2s2p^3^, 2p^4^, 2s^2^2p3s, 2s^2^2p3p, and
    2s^2^2p3d configurations of O III have been computed over a wide range
    of energies below 13.0 ryd using the R-matrix program. All partial
    waves with L{<=}40 have been included to ensure the convergence of
    results. Excitation rate coefficients, in the form of dimensionless
    effective collision strengths, have also been computed at temperatures
    below 200,000 K. The results are compared with available calculations,
    and accuracy of the data is assessed.
