Fe IX Calculations for the Solar Dynamics Observatory

Solar and Stellar Astrophysics 2015-05-28 v2 Atomic Physics

Abstract

New calculations of the energy levels, radiative transition rates and collisional excitation rates of \ion{Fe}{ix} have been carried out using the Flexible Atomic Code, paying close attention to experimentally identified levels and extending existing calculations to higher energy levels. For lower levels, R-matrix collisional excitation rates from earlier work have been used. Significant emission is predicted by these calculations in the 5f-3d transitions, which will impact analysis of SDO AIA observations using the 94\AA\ filter.
