Abstract

The 1/Z1/Z-expansion for the Coulomb system of infinitely massive center of charge Z and two electrons is discussed. Numerical deficiency in Baker et al, {\em Phys. Rev. \bf A41}, 1247 (1990) is indicated which continue to raise doubts in correctness of their calculations of the higher order coefficients in 1/Z1/Z-expansion expressed in Refs.[4-5]. It is shown that a minor modification of a few first coefficients found in Ref.[3] allows to calculate the ground state energies at Z = 1,2, 10Z\ =\ 1, 2,\ldots \ 10 (as well as at Z>10Z > 10) with a portion of 15th decimal digit in comparison with highly accurate calculations by C. Schwartz and by Nakashima-Nakatsuji. Ground state energies of two-electron ions Z=11 (Na9+)Z=11\ (Na^{9+}) and Z=12 (Mg10+)Z=12\ (Mg^{10+}) are found with 14 decimal digits.
