SULFUR IX TO XIII SPECTRAL MEASURMENTS BETWEEN 170 AND 500Å

This paper reports laboratory measurements of the spectrum of highly ionized sulfur. The spectrum of S Ⅸ–S ⅩⅢ has been observed in the wavelength range 170–500 Å. A total of 54 lines have been measured. Forty-two of them have been classified as 2s22pk–2s2pk+1and 2s2pk–2pk+1 transitions. Twelve other lines have been ascribed to 2s–2p,4p–5s,5p–6s,5d–6p, and 6p–8d transitions. These spectral lines have been identified, among which 22 are new and accurately measured. The analysis of the spectra was based on a comparison with other experimental results and calculated values.
