Recombination Rates for Uranium Ions Using the Analogous Nd III as a Guideline and Their Effect on Kilonova Nebular SpectraAn Exploration of Recombination of Uranium with application to Kilonovae Spectra

Niamh Ferguson, Anders Jerkstrand, Smaranika Banerjee +2

Dielectronic recombination (DR) is expected to be the dominant recombination process during the non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) phase of kilonovae, yet reliable DR da…

H, He-like recombination spectra VI: Quadrupole -changing collisions

E. Deliporanidou, N. R. Badnell, P. J. Storey +2

We have developed a simple analytic formula that well describes quadrupole -changing collisions of the form , as confirmed by comparison with numerical quant…

UK APAP R-matrix electron-impact excitation cross-sections for modelling laboratory and astrophysical plasma

G. Del Zanna, G. Liang, J. Mao +1

Systematic R-matrix calculations of electron-impact excitation for ions of astrophysical interest have been performed since 2007 for many iso-electronic sequences as part of the UK…

Nebular spectra of kilonovae with detailed recombination rates -- I. Light r-process composition

Smaranika Banerjee, Anders Jerkstrand, Nigel Badnell +3

To investigate spectra of kilonovae in the NLTE phase (t>= 1 week), we perform atomic calculations for dielectronic recombination (DR) rates for the light r-process elements Se (Z…

R-matrix electron-impact excitation data for the H- and He-like ions with Z=6-30

Junjie Mao, G. Del Zanna, Liyi Gu +2

Plasma models built on extensive atomic data are essential to interpreting the observed cosmic spectra. H-like Lyman series and He-like triplets observable in the X-ray band are po…
