On the use of the Cowan’s code for atomic structure calculations in singly ionized lanthanides

摘要: Abstract From a detailed comparison of Relativistic Hartree-Fock calculations with recent laser lifetime measurements in Tm II, it is shown that Cowan’s code, which has been widely used the past for atomic structure light elements, adequate also providing accurate radiative data heavy ions and particularly astrophysically important singly ionized lanthanides provided configuration interaction core-polarization effects are consistently taken into account adopted physical model.
