Transition probabilities in Au III

Theoretical transition probabilities are reported for doubly ionized gold (Au III). They have been obtained through the use of two different independent theoretical approaches, i.e. the
SUPERSTRUCTURE code and a HFR model including valence–valence and core–valence
configuration interaction in a detailed way. The new scale of A-values is assessed through the
comparison of the two sets of results and also through the use of a model similar to the one
selected for an isoelectronic ion, i.e. Pt II, for which accurate laser-induced-fluorescence
lifetimes have been measured recently.
