摘要:

几乎所有种类的天体都能在从红外线到紫外线的广泛光谱范围内观测到Fe II发射线。为了有意义地解释这些线,可靠的原子数据是必要的。在这里介绍的工作中,我们专注于低洼的精细结构的转变,在地面项,由于电子的影响。我们提供了有效的碰撞强度与估计的不确定性作为函数的温度的天体物理学的重要性($10 - 100,000$ K)。由于精细结构的过渡内的地面项的重要性,这项工作的重点是在此温度范围的低端获得准确的速率系数,在低温环境中的应用,如星际介质。我们进行了三种不同风格的散射计算:i)中间耦合框架变换(ICFT)$R$ -矩阵方法,ii)Breit-Pauli(BP)$R$ -矩阵方法,和iii)狄拉克$R$ -矩阵方法。ICFT和BP $R$ -矩阵计算分别涉及三种不同的AUTOSTRUCTURE目标模型。狄拉克$R$矩阵计算是基于可靠的20组态,6069能级原子结构模型。与以前的$R$ -矩阵计算相比,我们的BP和狄拉克$R$ -矩阵碰撞的结果发现了良好的协议。我们提出了一套建议的有效碰撞强度的低洼禁戒过渡连同相关的不确定性估计。

英文摘要:

Fe II emission lines are observed from nearly all classes of astronomical objects over a wide spectral range from the infrared to the ultraviolet. To meaningfully interpret these lines, reliable atomic data are necessary. In work presented here we focused on low-lying fine-structure transitions, within the ground term, due to electron impact. We provide effective collision strengths together with estimated uncertainties as functions of temperature of astrophysical importance ($10 - 100,000$ K). Due to the importance of fine-structure transitions within the ground term, the focus of this work is on obtaining accurate rate coefficients at the lower end of this temperature range, for applications in low temperature environments such as the interstellar medium. We performed three different flavours of scattering calculations: i) a intermediate coupling frame transformation (ICFT) $R$-matrix method, ii) a Breit-Pauli (BP) $R$-matrix method, and iii) a Dirac $R$-matrix method. The ICFT and BP $R$-matrix calculations involved three different AUTOSTRUCTURE target models each. The Dirac $R$-matrix calculation was based on a reliable 20 configuration, 6069 level atomic structure model. Good agreement was found with our BP and Dirac $R$-matrix collision results compared to previous $R$-matrix calculations. We present a set of recommended effective collision strengths for the low-lying forbidden transitions together with associated uncertainty estimates.
