Radiative recombination data for modelling dynamic finite-density plasmas
arXiv:astro-ph/0604144 · doi:10.1086/508465
Abstract
We have calculated partial final-state resolved radiative recombination (RR) rate coefficients from the initial ground and metastable levels of all elements up to and including Zn, plus Kr, Mo, and Xe, for all isoelectronic sequences up to Na-like forming Mg-like. The data are archived according to the Atomic Data and Analysis Structure (ADAS) data class adf48, which spans a temperature range of z^2(10^1 - 10^7)K, where z is the initial ion charge. Fits to total rate coefficients have been determined, for both the ground and metastable levels, and those for the ground are presented here. Comparison is made both with previous RR rate coefficients and with (background) R-matrix photoionization cross sections. This RR database complements a DR database already produced and both are being used to produce updated ionization balances for both (electron) collisionally ionized and photoionized plasmas.
