Scientific paper

Observations on the spectra of doubly ionized neon (NeIII) have been recently recorded below 25O Å(A. E. Livington, R. Buttner, A. S. Zacarias, B. Kraus, K-H Schartner, F. Folkmann and P. H. Mokler, J. Opt. Soc. Am. B 14) 522-525 (1997).. This work together with previous studies give line intensies which may be used as density diagnostics but required accurate collision strengths and transition probabilities for their interpretation. Recent studies on electron collisions with NeIII ions using the R-matrix approach (B. M. McLaughlin and K. L. Bell, J. Phys. B. 33), 597 (2000). for Δ n=0 transitions, illustrated the importance of including n=3 and 4 levels in the calculations compared to previous work. (K. Butler and C. Mendoza, Mon. Not. R. Astr. Soc. 208), 17 (1984). Particular emphasis is now placed on transitions to the intercombination 2s^22p^3[^4S^o]3s ^3,5S^o levels and to the other n=3 levels where comparison can be made with previous distorted-wave work. The calculations of fine-structure transitions by electron impact, to and within these multiplets of NeIII provide much needed accurate data for astrophysical models. Further details and a comprehensive set of results will be presented at the meeting.
