Fe XVII spectrum Capella<br />

(Bernitt et al. 2012)<br />

• NGC 5813:<br />

v turb = 140-540 km/s<br />

(15-45% of pressure)<br />

• NGC 5044:<br />

v turb >320 km/s<br />

(> 40% turbulence)<br />

• 3C: 2p 61 S 0 –2p 5 3d 1 P 1<br />

(resonane)<br />

• 3D: 2p 61 S 0 –2p 5 3d 3 D 1<br />

(forbidden)<br />

• Forbidden line occurs due<br />

to mixing<br />

• Excite Fe XVII using laser<br />

• Allows to measure<br />

individual oscillator<br />

strengths<br />

3C/3D lines<br />

(Bernitt et al. 2012)<br />

Resulting oscillator strength<br />

• Observed ratio of<br />

oscillator strengths<br />

71% smaller than<br />

e.g. NIST value<br />

and others<br />

• If due to 3C line,<br />

than also in<br />

emission lower<br />

fluxes!<br />

Groups revisited<br />

Absorption spectra<br />

• Implications Bernitt et al.:<br />

model X/3C 40% higher<br />

• Resonance scattering<br />

makes observed X/3C<br />

higher<br />

• Source like NGC 5044<br />

would fall below line!<br />

• Should full effect be<br />

attributed to 3C alone? Or<br />

also to 3D?<br />
