Oscillator strengths for dipole-allowed fine-structure transitions in Fe XIII

Oscillator strengths, line strengths, and transition probabilities for fine-structure levels in silicon-like iron, Fe XIII, are reported. The data obtained are for 1223 LS bound terms, 64,456 LS multiplets, and 307,863 fine-structure transitions. Calculations are carried out in LS coupling using the close coupling R-matrix approximation with a 14-term eigenfunction expansion. The fine-structure components are obtained through algebraic transformations. Present data considerably exceed the observed and the previously calculated data available, including those from the Opacity Project. Comparisons with previously measured and calculated values are made. (C) 1999 Academic Press.
