Electron-Ion Recombination Rate Coefficients and Photoionization Cross Sections for Astrophysically Abundant Elements. VII. Relativistic calculations for O VI and O VII for UV and X-ray modeling
Aimed at ionization balance and spectral analysis of UV and X-ray sources, we
present self-consistent sets of photoionization cross sections, recombination
cross sections, and rate coefficients for Li-like O VI and He-like O VII.
Relativistic fine structure is considered through the Breit-Pauli R-matrix
(BPRM) method in the close coupling approximation, implementing the unified
treatment for total electron-ion recombination subsuming both radiative and
di-electronic recombination processes. Self-consistency is ensured by using an
identical wavefunction expansion for the inverse processes of photoionization
and photo-recombination. Radiation damping of resonances, important for H-like
and He-like core ions, is included. Compared to previous LS coupling results
without radiative decay of low-n (<= 10) resonances, the presents results show
significant reduction in O VI recombination rates at high temperatures. In
addition to the total rates, level-specific photoionization cross sections and
recombination rates are presented for all fine structure levels n (lSLJ) up to
n <= 10, to enable accurate computation of recombination-cascade matrices and
spectral formation of prominent UV and X-ray lines such as the 1032,1038 A
doublet of O VI, and the `triplet' forbidden, intercombination, and resonance
X-ray lines of O VII at 22.1, 21.8, and 21.6 \ang respectively. Altogether,
atomic parameters for 98 levels of O VI and 116 fine structure levels of O VII
are theoretically computed. These data should provide a reasonably complete set
of photoionization and recombination rates in collisional or radiative
equilibrium.Comment: 33 pages, 8 figures, submitted to ApJ
