    Energy-level diagram of the He-like autoionizing levels 2l2l′ and their associated radiative decays, so-called Lyα satellites. After radiative decay, the singly excited states 1s2l1,3L are formed, from which further radiative decay proceeds (e.g., the resonance and intercombination lines W and Y, respectively). Also indicated are the Li-like autoionizing levels 1s2l2l′.
    MARIA simulations of dielectronic satellite emission near Lyα of H-like Mg ions for different values of the electron density at kTe = 100 eV. The red arrows indicate the rises in intensity of particular satellite transitions with increasing density. Satellites indicated in blue have effective negative screening due to strong angular-momentum coupling effects.
    Comparison of the l-averaged statistical approach with the Burgess and quantum level-by-level calculations for the Ni-like sequence 3s23p63d10 of Xe26+ and Au51+.
    Comparison of the l-averaged statistical approach with the Burgess and quantum level-by-level calculations for the Sr-like sequence 4s24p64d2 of W36+ and the Zn-like sequence 4s2 of tungsten W44+.
    • Table 1. Bd factors according to Eqs. (3.20) and (3.21) for DR into Li-like ions originating from the 1s2nlnl′ autoionizing levels, with Z = Zn − 2, m = 1, and l0 = 0. The numerical data show single- and multichannel approximations as well as the corresponding factors according to the Burgess approach (note that the different numerical coefficients and the oscillator strength in the original Burgess formula [Eq. (3.10)] compared with Eq. (3.20) have been included in the value for Bd(Burgess) to facilitate comparison of the different methods).
