Ar XV - VERSION 11.0.1

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

  1. ar_15.elvlc (energy levels)

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

     
 
   Theoretical energies:
Fernandez-Menchero, Del Zanna and Badnell, A&A, 2014, 566, A104
doi = {10.1051/0004-6361/201423864}

Note: only the bound levels up to n=5 have been retained
and indexing has been modified.

Observed energies:

  2. ar_15.wgfa (radiative data)

    3. 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. 

     
gf-values, A-values and theoretical energies:
Fernandez-Menchero, Del Zanna and Badnell, A&A, 2014, 566, A104
doi = {10.1051/0004-6361/201423864}
Only transition probabilities with a branching ratio
greater than 10^(-5) have been retained.


gf-values, A-values for the n=2,3 (lowest 20 levels):
MBPT calculations by  Wang, K. et al., 2015, ApJS,  218, 16
doi = {10.1088/0067-0049/218/2/16}

Note: only the bound levels up to n=5 have been retained
and indexing has been changed.
