Scientific paper

The study obtains improved rate formulas for dielectric recombination (DR) by fitting all of the existing DR data for ions with core charges (Zc) less than 50 and the number of electrons in the target ions less than 13. The present fitting procedure divides the total rates into five different excitation modes rather than fitting the rates for each isoelectronic sequence. This method allows better interpolation among the ions for which no explicit data are available and also incorporates detailed information on the contributions from the different shell excitations. The present formulas are estimated to be reliable to +/- 50 percent or better. Sample rates are generated for C, O, Mg, Ar, Fe, Se, and Mo ions.
