Radiationless decay rates of the (1s(-1))2P and 4P O II terms are calculated and compared with recent experimental results of Caldwell and Krause. In order to obtain the partial widths we analyzed the resonant behavior of the scattering matrix of the O(2+) + e(-) diffusion for an electron incident energy around 500 eV. Assuming a thin plasma, exposed to a high energy photon source, we consider 1s-photoionization followed by Auger decays responsible for O III excited states production. We considered this double process balanced by radiative decays. Some O III line relative intensities are therefore estimated in astrophysical scenarios that may be found in active galactic nuclei.
