  3. mg_1.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.

  5. mg_1.scups (electron collision data)
  6. contains the effective electron collision strengths scaled according to the rules formulated by Burgess and Tully (1992).

      The data is produced for calculating effective ionisation and recombination rates for the advanced models only and                                
      Burgess-Tully limit points were derived by extrapolating using last three points, which were very close to the limit.

    Original data is in LS-coupling; the intermediate-coupling values are derived by using the ratio of Autostructure distorted wave collision strengths
