  3. fe_20.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.

    %comments: The fits are good to < 3%. An acceptable fit could not be found to 
        the 1 - 4 transition and so it was omitted. The rates for this 
        transition are around 1e-12 and so it is not important.
