A CALCULATION APPROACH TO ELECTRON IMPACT EXCITATION OF IONS IN HOT SOLAR PLASMAS

摘要

The first purpose of these remarks is to bring to the attention of the atomic scattering community the cross section requirements of physicists studying UV and X-ray emission spectra associated with active and flare-produced plasmas in the sun's corona. The studies that are of specific concern here are an inte¬gral part of an experimental satellite program (OSO-5, OSO-7) of the Goddard Space Flight Center group (Neupert et al.1), and in the final section of this re¬port we shall give specific categories of excitations corresponding to prominent coronal lines which they observe under solar disturbed conditions.
