Abstract

Study of physical processes in astrophysical and fusion plasmas consists of detail analysis of high resolution atomic spectra obtained from such plasmas. The X-ray spectra from iron K-shell and L-shell ions are particularly important for astrophysics as they are in wavelength range covered by telescopes on board space observatories like Chandra and XMM-Newton. To conduct the astrophysical plasma diagnostic studies of Active galactic nuclei (AGN), solar corona and other similar astronomical entities, a large number of accurate transition data both from theory and experiment are indispensable. Here we have calculated similar atomic data in use for these studies by multi-configuration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) formalism used in Grasp2K code. Calculations consists of ground and few low level excited states in He-like and Li-like Fe ions and some important transitions connecting these levels.
