Collision Strengths for [O III] Optical and Infrared Lines

Abstract

We present electron collision strengths and their thermally averaged values for the forbidden lines of the astronomically abundant doubly-ionized oxygen ion, O^{2+}, in an intermediate coupling scheme using the Breit-Pauli relativistic terms as implemented in an R-matrix atomic scattering code. We use several atomic targets for the R-matrix scattering calculations including one with 72 atomic terms. We also compare with new results obtained using the intermediate coupling frame transformation method. We find spectroscopically significant differences against a recent Breit-Pauli calculation for the excitation of the [O III] lambda 4363 transition but confirm the results of earlier calculations.

12 pages, 7 figures, 8 tables (list of collision strength data is also provided as supplementary material)
