Abstract
Theoretical Ne VII electron density sensitive emission-line ratios, derived using electron impact excitation rates calculated with the R-matrix code, are presented for R1 = I(561.7 A)/I(465.2 A) and R2 = I(561.4 A)/I(465.2 A). A comparison of these with observational data for solar flares, obtained with the Naval Research Laboratory's S082A spectrograph on board Skylab, reveals excellent agreement between theory and observation, which confirms the usefulness of R1 and R2 as Ne diagnostics for solar flares, as well as providing experimental support for the accuracy of the atomic data adopted in the line ratio calculations. 36 refs.
