Abstract

We report new observations of emission line intensity ratios of Fe XVII under controlled experimental conditions, using the National Institute of Standards and Technology electron beam ion trap (EBIT) with a microcalorimeter detector. . . .Both R-matrix and distorted wave approxomations agree with each other and our experimental results much better than most solar and stellar observations, suggesting that other proceses not present in our experiment must play a role in forming the Fe XVII spectrum in solar and astrophysical plasmas.
