Fe IX - VERSION 11.0.1


The CHIANTI database has the following primary ASCII files for this ion:

  1. fe_9.elvlc (energy levels)
  2. contains the energy levels (in cm-1). It includes both experimental and theoretical values of the levels energies.

    Note: the the theoretical energies are the 'best energies', i.e. 
    are the empirically-adjusted theoretical energies.

      Energies for the 4f levels are from Ryabtsev et al. (2022), but the energies
      assigned to the 3F4 and 1G4 levels have been swapped. The energies for the
      1F3 and 3F3 levels have also been swapped. The CHIANTI 10.1 paper has more
      details.
      
      Of the 45 3d^2 level energies listed by Ryabtsev et al. (2022), 16 were added
      to the CHIANTI model. A separate document explains how the decisions were made
      - see the CHIANTI 10.1 paper for more details.

  3. fe_9.wgfa (radiative data)
  4. 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.
