Data for Satellite Lines from Autoionizing States

How to estimate intensity of dielectronic satellite lines

Intensity of a dielectronic satellite line can be calculated with a following equation:

(photons cm³s^-1),
where I_H is the ionization potential of hydrogen, T_e is electron temperature, g₀ is the statistical weight of initial parent state i₀, E_i^S is energy level of autoionizing state i measured from initial state i₀, and Q_d(i,j) is intensity factor obtained as follows with g_i statistical weight of autoionizing state i, A^a autoionization rate, and A^r radiative transition probability:

For the most cases, A^a is much larger than A^r and then approximately Q_d becomes

In the data set of this database, Q_d and the wavelength are included as defualt, and Es (E_i^S in the above equation) is included in some cases.
