 -1

contains wavelengths, gf and A values of the transitions. The wavelengths are based on the experimental energy levels and should be the best available. Wavelengths calculated from the theoretical energies are of an indeterminate accuracy and their values are presented as negative values of the calculated wavelength.

Only transition probabilities with a branching ratio
greater than 10^(-5) have been retained.

gf-values, A-values for the ground configuration 2s2 2p2 and  the 2s 2p3 are from the
