Nebular and auroral transitions of [Ar IV] in some planetary nebulae

  • 1. Department of Astronomy, The Ohio State University

Description

Measurements of auroral and nebular type transitions in several planetary nebulae of high surface brightness lead to the conclusion that presently available collisional cross sections and transitions probabilities for 3p3 configurations in Ar+3 may be in error. The observed auroral/nebular line ratio is always larger than the predicted value, and the disagreement is further aggravated if auroral lines are weakened by telluric line absorption
