APED/APEC state-of-the-art dataset for He- & H-like ions of Z<=30 (+ DR lines of Fe)

X-ray-emitting plasma: T = 106-8 K (0.1-10 keV)most of atoms are ionized to be He- or H-like states in CIE

metal-rich, almost neutral

Shock-heated electrons ionize heavy elements.

typical SNRs

- Inner-shell process is essentially important for SNRs!- APEC can calculate ion population, but doesn’t output emission.

Innershell ionization of Be-like ionsLi-like : 1s2s2 (2S) -> wK = 0 (for single-configuration wave function) in fact, K&M(1993) gave zero values for every Li-like ions.

Configuration interaction (CI) effect cannot be ignoredyCI = c1 1s2s2 (2S) + c2 1s2p2 (2S) ; c2 ~ 0.3 (Gorczyca+2006)

wK ≠ 0 ! Li-like(Gorczyca+06)

Lighter elements are usually ionized to be He-like state.but a few exception…0509-67.5: Kb from low-ionized Si (Warren & Hughes 04)Tycho: low-ionized Ca (Hwang+98)

Also needed:Si thru Ca (Ne-like – Li-like)and L-shell data for Fe, Ca, Ni, …

What’s the origin? - collision with dense stellar wind matter and following adiabatic cooling? (HY+09)- thermal conduction into cloudy matter? (Zhou+11)

Abundance & density are important information.

We only know nFe25+ /nFe24+ from the RRC/line ratio…(~ 0.06 in W49B)

then, used k = 0.04 to estimate Fe abundance and density.

We (wrongly) assumed that ion pop in arbitrary recomb plasma is consistent to that in CIE plasma with a certain electron temperature.

IonizingRecombining plasma model in XSPEC must be useful.We do already have atomic data!

Some difficulty… Ionizing: kTe, net, abundances, normalization Recombining: + initial ion population -> 3-dimensional

Summary

Ionizing NEI plasma - APEC is ready. - Fluorescence data are completed for all elements (Z <=30)! except for Kb lines from lowly-ionized atoms (Kaastra & Mewe’s is no longer needed.) - EII/EIE rates for Fe & Ni are calculated by Kris & collaborators! - EII/EIE rates for Cr & Mn would be mostly important now. - and other abundant elements, Si, S, Ca…

Recombining plasma - APEC & APED are both (almost) ready. - one more parameter (init ion pop.) is needed.
