摘要:

目的:我们产生的理论紫外线和极紫外线的发射线比O IV和显示其强大的多功能性作为电子温度和密度诊断天体物理等离子体。研究方法:最近完全相对论计算的辐射率和电子碰撞激发截面O IV,补充了早期的数据A-值和质子激发率,用于推导理论O IV线强度比的电子温度和密度范围很广。结果如下:诊断线比涉及紫外或极紫外跃迁O IV,适用于各种各样的天体物理等离子体,从低密度气体星云的dennial太阳和恒星耀斑。与观测数据的比较,在可用的情况下,显示出良好的理论和实验之间的协议,为诊断的准确性提供支持。然而,诊断也提出了涉及线混合在现有的天文光谱,希望这可能会鼓励进一步的观测研究在更高的光谱分辨率。

英文摘要:

Aims: We generate theoretical ultraviolet and extreme-ultraviolet emission line ratios for O IV and show their strong versatility as electron temperature and density diagnostics for astrophysical plasmas. Methods: Recent fully relativistic calculations of radiative rates and electron impact excitation cross sections for O IV, supplemented with earlier data for A-values and proton excitation rates, are used to derive theoretical O IV line intensity ratios for a wide range of electron temperatures and densities. Results: Diagnostic line ratios involving ultraviolet or extreme-ultraviolet transitions in O IV are presented, that are applicable to a wide variety of astrophysical plasmas ranging from low density gaseous nebulae to the densest solar and stellar flares. Comparisons with observational data, where available, show good agreement between theory and experiment, providing support for the accuracy of the diagnostics. However, diagnostics are also presented involving lines that are blended in existing astronomical spectra, in the hope this might encourage further observational studies at higher spectral resolution.
