We report lifetimes, branching fractions, and the resulting oscillator strengths for transitions within the P II multiplet (3s23p2 3P - 3s3p3 3Po) at 1308 {AA}. These comprehensive beam-foil measurements, which are the most precise set currently available experimentally, resolve discrepancies involving earlier experimental and theoretical results. Interstellar phosphorus abundances derived from {lambda}1308 can now be interpreted with greater confidence. In the course of our measurements, we also obtained an experimental lifetime for the 3p4s 3P0o level of P IV. This lifetime agrees well with the available theoretical calculation.

We present lifetime measurements using beam-foil techniques for radiative transitions from the 3$p^4$($^1S$)4$s$ $^2S_{1/2}$, 3$p^4$($^3P$)5$s$ $^2P_{1/2,3/2}$, and 3$p^4$($^3P$)3$d$ $^2F_{5/2}$ levels in Cl I and the corresponding results of the oscillator strengths for transitions at 1004.68, 1079.88, 1090.73, and 1094.77 AA, respectively. We compare our experimental results with available theoretical calculations and astronomical observations in an effort to resolve discrepancies among them.
Radiative emission lines from nitrogen and its ions are often observed in nebulae spectra, where the N$^{2+}$ abundance can be inferred from lines of the 2p4f configuration. In addition, intensity ratios between lines of the 2p3p -- 2p3s and 2p4f -- 2p3d transition arrays can serve as temperature diagnostics. To aid abundance determinations and plasma diagnostics, wavelengths and oscillator strengths were calculated with high-precision for electric-dipole (E1) transitions from levels in the 2p4f configuration of N$^{+}$. Electron correlation and relativistic effects, including the Breit interaction, were systematically taken into account within the framework of the multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock (MCDHF) method. Except for the 2p4f - 2p4d transitions with quite large wavelengths and the two-electron-one-photon 2p4f -2s2p$^3$ transitions, the uncertainties of the present calculations were controlled to within 3% and 5% for wavelengths and oscillator strengths, respectively. We also compared our results with other theoretical and experimental values when available. Discrepancies were found between our calculations and previous calculations due to the neglect of relativistic effects in the latter.
We report new experimental Fe I oscillator strengths obtained by combining measurements of branching fractions measured with a Fourier Transform spectrometer and time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence lifetimes. The study covers the spectral region ranging from 213 to 1033 nm. A total of 120 experimental log(gf)-values coming from 15 odd-parity energy levels are provided, 22 of which have not been reported previously and 63 values with lower uncertainty than the existing data. Radiative lifetimes for 60 upper energy levels are presented, 39 of which have no previous measurements.
We present the results of a detailed theoretical study which meets the spatial and temporal criteria of the Debye-Huckel (DH) approximation on the variation of the transition energies as well as the oscillator strengths for the ${2p^53d ^1P_1rightarrow2p^6 ^1S_0}$ (3C line) and the ${2p^53d ^3D_1rightarrow2p^6 ^1S_0}$ (3D line) transitions of the Ne-like ions subject to external plasma. Our study shows that the redshifts of the transition energy follow the general scaling behaviors similar to the ones for the simple H-like and He-like ions. Whereas the oscillator strength for the 3C line decreases, the oscillator strength for the spin-flipped 3D line increases as the strength of the outside plasma increases. As a result, their ratio is amplified subject to outside plasma environment. We further demonstrate that the plasma-induced variation between the relative strength of the 3C and 3D transitions is mainly due to the spin-dependent interactions which dictate the mixing of the $^1P_1$ component in the $^3D_1$ upper state of the 3D transition. In addition, we are able to find that the ratio between the relative oscillator strengths of the 3C and 3D lines in the presence of the plasma to their respective plasma-free values varies as a nearly universal function of $[(Z-9.2)DZ]^{-1.8}$, with $Z$ the nuclear charge and $D$ the Debye length. The results of this study should be of great help in the modeling and diagnostic of astrophysical plasmas as well as laboratory plasmas.
We present electron collision strengths and their thermally averaged values for the forbidden lines of the astronomically abundant doubly-ionized oxygen ion, O^{2+}, in an intermediate coupling scheme using the Breit-Pauli relativistic terms as implemented in an R-matrix atomic scattering code. We use several atomic targets for the R-matrix scattering calculations including one with 72 atomic terms. We also compare with new results obtained using the intermediate coupling frame transformation method. We find spectroscopically significant differences against a recent Breit-Pauli calculation for the excitation of the [O III] lambda 4363 transition but confirm the results of earlier calculations.
