Lifetimes, oscillator strengths and Lande factors in doubly ionized europium (Eu III)

peer reviewedA set of transition probabilities has been calculated for Eu iii transitions of astrophysical interest particularly for the study of chemically peculiar stars. They were obtained taking configuration interaction and core-polarization effects into account. The accuracy of the new scale of oscillator strengths, which differs substantially from previous results, has been assessed through comparisons with recent time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence measurements of radiative lifetimes
