J. Fleming et al., FORBIDDEN TRANSITIONS IN B-II, C-III, O-V, NE-VII AND MG-IX, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 279(4), 1996, pp. 1289-1293
Intercombination line transition rates between n=2 levels of B II, O V
, Ne VII and Mg IX have been calculated using the configuration intera
ction code CIV3. The recommended A-values for the 2s2p P-3(1)o-2s(21)S
(0) intercombination lines are 9.73 s(-1) for B II, 2280 s(-1) for O V
, 19 204 s(-1) for Ne VII and 97 242 s(-1) for Mg IX. We estimate that
the accuracy of these values is better than 2 per cent. Calculations
of the M2, E2 and M1 transitions have also been carried out for these
ions and for C III.
