OPACITY PROJECT : RADIATIVE LIFETIMES FOR IONS IN THE Mg ISOELECTRONIC SEQUENCE

Abstract
The usability of the Opacity Project f-value dataset for the calculation of radiative lifetimes is examined in connection with ions in the Mg isoelectronic sequence. Interesting effects regarding spectroscopic and isoelectronic trends are briefly discussed. The agreement of the present lifetimes with those previously calculated by state-of the-art methods is very good, but the comparison with ample experimental data is patchy. We conclude that the present dataset is of higher statistical accuracy than the measured values
