Absolute transition probabilities for 559 strong lines of neutral cerium

Published

Author(s)

John J. Curry

Abstract

Absolute radiative transition probabilities are reported for 559 strong lines of neutral cerium covering the wavelength range 340 nm to 880 nm. These transition probabilities are obtained by scaling published relative line intensities\cite{MCS75} with a smaller set of published absolute transition probabilities\cite{Bisson91}. All 559 new values are for lines for which transition probabilities have not previously been available. The estimated relative random uncertainty of the new data is $\pm 35\ \%$ for nearly all lines.
