Abstract

Modern observational equipment makes it possible to identify extremely weak metal lines in deep surveys of the optical and near-IR region of the electromagnetic spectrum. In particular, collisionally excited lines from heavy ions (Z > 30) have been recently identified in the spectrum of NGC 7027 (Péquignot & Baluteau 1994). However, detailed quantitative analyses of the observed lines have not been feasible due to the lack of accurate collisional data for the heavy elements.
