Abstract

Relativistic energy shifts of the low-energy levels of Fe have been calculated using the Dirac-Hartree-Fock and configuration interaction techniques. The results are to be used in the search for the space-time variation of the fine-structure constant in quasar absorption spectra. The values of the shifts are the largest among those used in the analysis so far. This makes Fe a good candidate for the inclusion into the analysis.
