Problemas comentados (XV)

Con el cambio de formato de la revista NÚMEROS la sección que hasta ahora manteníamos puede proseguir o no, dependiendo de la nueva dirección de la misma y del gusto de los lectores. En la espera de esa decisión queremos completar el último artículo dando, como es costumbre, las soluciones de los problemas del número anterior.

El juego-rey y la ciencia de los números

El ajedrez puede constituir un excelente recurso didáctico en el aula de matemáticas. El presente trabajo trata sobre algunas de las conexiones que se pueden establecer entre estas dos disciplinas, y sobre la posibilidad de plantear problemas matemáticos tomando como soporte el tablero y las piezas de ajedrez. Los contenidos de los problemas son muy variados, manejando diversas cuestiones -algebraicas, combinatorias, geométricas, cálculo de probabilidades, de lógica, etc.-, que resultan especialmente motivadoras por el carácter lúdico y manipulativo que posee el juego de los 64 escaques.

Extreme ultraviolet emission lines of Ca XV in solar and laboratory spectra

New R-matrix calculations of electron impact excitation rates in Ca XV are used to derive theoretical electron density diagnostic emission line intensity ratios involving 2s(2)2p(2)- 2s2p(3) transitions, specifically R-1 = I(208.70 Angstrom)/I(200.98 Angstrom), R-2 = I(181.91 Angstrom)/I(200.98 Angstrom), and R-3 = I(215.38 Angstrom)/I(200.98 Angstrom), for a range of electron temperatures (T-e = 10(6.4)-10(6.8) K) and densities (Ne = 10(9)-10(13) cm(-3)) appropriate to solar coronal plasmas. Electron densities deduced from the observed values of R-1, R-2, and R-3 for several solar flares, measured from spectra obtained with the Naval Research Laboratory's S082A spectrograph on board Skylab, are found to be consistent. In addition, the derived electron densities are in excellent agreement with those determined from line ratios in Ca XVI, which is formed at a similar electron temperature to Ca XV. These results provide some experimental verification for the accuracy of the line ratio calculations, and hence the atomic data on which they are based. A set of eight theoretical Ca XV line ratios involving 2s(2)2p(2)-2s2p(3) transitions in the wavelength range similar to140-216 Angstrom are also found to be in good agreement with those measured from spectra of the TEXT tokamak plasma, for which the electron temperature and density have been independently determined. This provides additional support for the accuracy of the theoretical line ratios and atomic data.

Excitation rates for transitions in Ca XV

Collision strengths for transitions among the energetically lowest 46 fine-structure levels belonging to the (1s(2)) 2s(2)2p(2), 2s2p(3), 2p(4), and 2s(2)2p3l configurations of Ca XV are computed, over a wide electron energy range below 300 Ryd, using the Dirac Atomic R-matrix Code (DARC) of Norrington & Grant (2003). Resonances in the threshold region have been resolved in a fine energy mesh, and excitation rates are determined over a wide electron temperature range below 10(7) K. The results are compared with those available in the literature, and the accuracy of the data is assessed.

Effective collision strengths for transitions in Fe XV

Collision strengths for transitions among the energetically lowest 53 fine-structure levels belonging to the (1s(2)2s(2)2p(6)) 3l(2), 3l3l', 3s4l and 3p4s configurations of Fe XV are computed, over an electron energy range below 160 Ryd, using the Dirac Atomic R-matrix Code (DARC) of Norrington & Grant (2003). Effective collision strengths, obtained after integrating the collision strengths over a Maxwellian distribution of electron energies, have also been calculated. These results of effective collision strengths are tabulated for all 1378 inelastic transitions over a wide temperature range of 10(5) to 10(7) K. Comparisons are also made with other R-matrix calculations and the accuracy of the results is assessed.

Effective collision strengths for transitions among the 3s(2), 3s3p and 3p(2) configurations of Fe xv

Effective collision strengths for transitions among the ten energetically lowest fine-structure levels belonging to the (1s(2)2s(2)2p(6))3s(2), 3s3p and 3p(2) configurations of Fe xv have been calculated in the electron temperature range of 10(5)-10(7) K, using the recent Dirac atomic R-matrix code of Norrington and Grant. The results are compared with the other recently available independent Breit-Pauli R-matrix calculations of Eissner et al (Eissner W, Galavis M E, Mendoza C and Zeippen C J 1999 Astron. Astrophys. Suppl. 137 165) and Griffin et al (Griffin DC, Badnell N R, Pindzola M S and Shaw J A 1999 J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys. 32 2139, 4129). Large differences are observed for many transitions over almost the entire temperature range. These differences are analysed and discussed, and the accuracy of the calculations is assessed.
