For satellites of the type 1s2nl-1s 2pnl in Fe XXIV, wavelengths and intensities have been calculated for n = 4. Together with previous calculations for n = 2 and 3, these enable the wavelengths and decay rates to be scaled for higher values of n. The series up to n = 11 for satellites of the resonance line 1s2 1s2p 1P1, and up to n = 16 for satellites of the inter- combination line 1s2-ls 2p 3P1, have been derived. This leads to a good estimate for the contribution of satellites to the apparent wavelength shift, width, and intensity of the resonance line, and thus to a value of the correction factor a needed for deriving electron temperature from satellite! resonance line ratios, as described in Papers I and II in this series. Also obtained, from the sum of all the satellites, is a new value for the major contribution ( 90 per cent) to the total dielectronic recombination rate. At typical flare temperatures of 20 × 106 K, this is greater by a factor of two than values obtained from earlier semi-empirical formulae.
