Abstract
We present semiempirical Gaunt factors for the widely used Van Regemor ter formula [Astrophys. J. 136, 906 (1962)] for allowed transitions fr om l=0 or l=1 levels in atoms with the LS coupling. Cross sections cal culated using these Gaunt factors agree with measured cross sections t o within experimental error.
