Forbidden lines of Fe xvm, Fe xix, and Fe xxi are identified at 974, 1118, and 1354 Ä, respectively, in NRL ATM solar flare spectra. These lines are due to magnetic dipole transitions between levels of the ground configurations. The widths of the Fe xix and Fe xxi lines are ^0.5 Ä, which is substantially greater than expected in ionization equilibrium. The intensity-time behavior and the widths of these lines are discussed for the 1973 June 15 flare.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
