TRANSITION PROBABILITIES IN HIGHLY IONIZED pa AND p* CONFIGURATIONS

Abstract Line strengths of magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole transitions in the configurations 2 p 2 , 2 p 4 , 3 p 2 and 3 p 4 are calculated using interpolated values of spin-orbit interaction parameters and unperturbed energies of the levels. Probabilities of the important ground state transitions are tabulated in the four isoelectronic sequences through the following net charges: 17(2 p 2 ), 13(2 p 4 ), 15(3 p 2 ), 13(3 p 4 ).
