Abstract
Analytical approximations to Hartree-Fock wavefunctions have been computed for the 4s, 4p, and 3d states of K I, Ca II, and Sc III. Multiplet strengths for the 4s-4p and 4p-3d transitions in these ions are also computed. Examination of the results indicate that relaxation of the core in the field of the series electron accounts for a large portion of the core polarization effect, at least for the 3d level. Serious cancellation is found to invalidate the dipole velocity results of the 4p-3d transition in Ca II.
