Radiative Data for As III, Se III, Hf IV, and Tl IV: HFR and MCDHF Calculations for Hot Subdwarf Spectroscopy
Abstract
Accurate oscillator strengths for doubly and triply ionised heavy elements are required for quantitative spectroscopy of hot subdwarfs, but available data remain sparse. We present new radiative data for As III, Se III, Hf IV and Tl IV, calculated with the pseudo-relativistic Hartree-Fock (HFR) method including core-polarization effects and semi-empirical adjustment of radial parameters to experimental energy levels. Independent multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock (MCDHF) computations were also performed for As III, Hf IV and Tl IV, while published MCDHF data were adopted for Se III to assess the reliability of the HFR oscillator strengths. The largest discrepancies between the two approaches are mainly associated with weak transitions, strong cancellation effects, or significant gauge disagreement. For strong transitions satisfying the adopted reliability criteria, we found a good agreement between the oscillator strengths obtained by both methods. The new data have already been applied to the spectra of the heavy-metal hot subdwarfs LS IV-14∘116 and EC 22536-5304, enabling abundance determinations for As, Se, Hf, and Tl and providing additional lines for future spectroscopic studies.
