We present calculations of the oscillator strengths of Fe ii ll2507, 2509, which are the strongest observed lines in the emission spectrum of the B and D Weigelt blobs of h Carinae. Unlike previous determinations of these oscillator strengths, our results are compatible with the modeling undertaken by Verner et al.
We present extensive configuration interaction calculations of oscillator strengths and transition rates of certain near-infrared emission lines of Fe ii observed in the BD Weigelt blobs of Carinae. Comparison is made between our work and results available in existing databases. We offer arguments in favor of our results being the most accurate, where differences occur.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
