Ultraviolet oscillator strengths for carbon, nitrogen and oxygen ions

Abstract

Oscillator strengths were calculated for u.v. transitions in carbon, nitrogen and oxygen ions. Single and multiconfiguration numerical Hartree-Fock wavefunctions were used to represent initial and final states of the various transitions, and both dipole length and dipole velocity transition matrix elements were calculated. A careful choice of a few important configurations leads in most cases to multiconfiguration results which are in good agreement with experiment, and with other theoretical calculations. © 1976.
