Fully relativistic many-body perturbation energies, transition properties, and lifetimes of lithium-like iron Fe XXIV

Employing the advanced relativistic configuration interaction (RCI) combined with the many-body perturbation theory (RMBPT) method, we report energies and lifetime values for the lowest 35 energy levels from the (1s²)nl configurations (where the principal quantum number n = 2–6 and the angular quantum number l = 0,…,n–1) of lithium-like iron Fe XXIV, as well as complete data on the transition wavelengths, radiative rates, absorption oscillator strengths, and line strengths between the levels. Both the allowed (E1) and forbidden (magnetic dipole M1, magnetic quadrupole M2, and electric quadrupole E2) ones are reported. Through detailed comparisons with previous results, we assess the overall accuracies of present RMBPT results to be likely the most precise ones to date. Configuration interaction effects are found to be very important for the energies and radiative properties for the ion. The present RMBPT results are valuable for spectral line identification, plasma modeling, and diagnosing.
