New radiative lifetime measurements using time-resolved laser-induced Ñuorescence are reported for the lowest six even-parity levels of Eu II. Branching fractions, measured from Fourier transform spectra, are combined with these lifetimes to determine atomic transition probabilities for the strongest blueÈUV lines and additional yellowÈred lines of Eu II. These results are compared with published data, and generally good agreement is found. Recommended hyperÐne structure constants and isotopic shifts for these lines are also assembled from the literature and supplemented, as needed, using results from nonlinear least-squares Ðts of line proÐles in Fourier transform spectra. These laboratory data are applied in a new determination of the solar Eu elemental abundance, yielding with^0.04 Slog 10 e(Eu)T \ 0.52^0.01, estimated for each of internal (scatter) and external (systematic) uncertainties. From analysis of the proÐles of three Eu II lines, primarily j4129, isotopic fractions of 151Eu and 153Eu are shown to be consistent with their values in meteoritic material.
