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 IH is the ionization potential of hydrogen, Te is electron temperature, g0 is the statistical weight of initial parent state i0, EiS is energy level of autoionizing state i measured from initial state i0, and Qd(i,j) is intensity factor obtained as follows with gi statistical weight of autoionizing state i, Aa autoionization rate, and Ar radiative transition probability:
.

For the most cases, Aa is much larger than Ar and then approximately Qd becomes

.

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