Abstract:
Results of calculations for inelastic e+Mg effective collision
strengths for the lowest 25 physical states of MgI (up to 3s6p1P),
and thus 300 transitions, from the convergent close-coupling (CCC) and
the B-spline R-matrix (BSR) methods are presented. At temperatures of
interest, ∼5000K, the results of the two calculations differ on
average by only 4%, with a scatter of 27%. As the methods are
independent, this suggests that the calculations provide datasets for
e+Mg collisions accurate to this level. Comparison with the commonly
used dataset compiled by Mauas et al. (1988ApJ...330.1008M 1988ApJ...330.1008M), covering
25 transitions among 12 states, suggests the Mauas et al. data are on
average ∼57% too low, and with a very large scatter of a factor of
∼6.5. In particular the collision strength for the transition
corresponding to the MgI intercombination line at 457nm is
significantly underestimated by Mauas et al., which has consequences
for models that employ this dataset. In giant stars the new data leads
to a stronger line compared to previous non-LTE calculations, and thus
a reduction in the non-LTE abundance correction by ∼0.1dex (∼25%). A
non-LTE calculation in a supernova ejecta model shows this line
becomes significantly stronger, by a factor of around two, alleviating
the discrepancy where the 457nm line in typical models with Mg/O
ratios close to solar tended to be too weak compared to observations.
Description:
The file states.dat lists the considered states. The remaining files
then provide the effective collision strength matrices for various
temperatures from the convergent close coupling (CCC) and B-spline
R-matrix (BSR) calculations.

Note (1): The matrices follow the ordering of indexes in states.data; i.e. the
transition 1-2 corresponds to element (1,2), noting the matrix is symmetric.
