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 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 osc
illator 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.
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 ${2p^53d ^1P_1rightarr
ow2p^6 ^1S_0}$ (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 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 avai
lable 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.
Charge exchange X-ray emission provides unique insights into the interactions between cold and hot astrophysical plasmas. Besides its own profound science, this emission is also technically crucial to all observations in the X-ray band, since charge
exchange with the solar wind often contributes a significant foreground component that contaminates the signal of interest. By approximating the cross sections resolved to $n$ and $l$ atomic subshells, and carrying out complete radiative cascade calculation, we create a new spectral code to evaluate the charge exchange emission in the X-ray band. Comparing to collisional thermal emission, charge exchange radiation exhibits enhanced lines from large-$n$ shells to the ground, as well as large forbidden-to-resonance ratios of triplet transitions. Our new model successfully reproduces an observed high-quality spectrum of comet C/2000 WM1 (LINEAR), which emits purely by charge exchange between solar wind ions and cometary neutrals. It demonstrates that a proper charge exchange model will allow us to probe remotely the ion properties, including charge state, dynamics, and composition, at the interface between the cold and hot plasmas.
For the spectral analysis of high-resolution and high-signal-to-noise spectra of hot stars, state-of-the-art non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) model atmospheres are mandatory. These are strongly dependent on the reliability of the atomic dat
a that is used for their calculation. To search for Zr and Xe lines in the ultraviolet (UV) spectra of G191-B2B and RE0503-289, new Zr IV-VII, Xe IV-V, and Xe VIII oscillator strengths were calculated. This allows for the first time, determination of the Zr abundance in white dwarf (WD) stars and improvement of the Xe abundance determinations. We calculated Zr IV-VII, Xe IV-V, and Xe VIII oscillator strengths to consider radiative and collisional bound-bound transitions of Zr and Xe in our NLTE stellar-atmosphere models for the analysis of their lines exhibited in UV observations of the hot WDs G191-B2B and RE0503-289. We identified one new Zr IV, 14 new Zr V, and ten new Zr VI lines in the spectrum of RE0503-289. Zr was detected for the first time in a WD. We measured a Zr abundance of -3.5 +/- 0.2 (logarithmic mass fraction, approx. 11 500 times solar). We dentified five new Xe VI lines and determined a Xe abundance of -3.9 +/- 0.2 (approx. 7500 times solar). We determined a preliminary photospheric Al abundance of -4.3 +/- 0.2 (solar) in RE0503-289. In the spectra of G191-B2B, no Zr line was identified. The strongest Zr IV line (1598.948 A) in our model gave an upper limit of -5.6 +/- 0.3 which is about 100 times solar. No Xe line was identified in the UV spectrum of G191-B2B and we confirmed the previously determined upper limit of -6.8 +/- 0.3 (ten times solar). Precise measurements and calculations of atomic data are a prerequisite for advanced NLTE stellar-atmosphere modeling. Observed Zr IV - VI and Xe VI - VII line profiles in the UV spectrum of RE0503-289 were simultaneously well reproduced.
