Using the multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock (MCDHF) and the relativistic configuration interaction (RCI) methods, a consistent set of transition energies and radiative transition data for the lowest 150 states of the $3s^2 3p^3$, $3s 3p^4$, $3s^2 3p^2 3d$, $3s 3p^3 3d$, $3p^5$, and $3s^2 3p 3d^2$ configurations in P-like Ge XVIII is provided. To assess the accuracy of the MCDHF transition energies, we have also performed calculations using the many-body perturbation theory (MBPT). Comparisons are made between the present MCDHF and MBPT data sets, as well as with other available experimental and theoretical values. The resulting accurate and consistent MCDHF data set will be useful for line identification and modeling purposes. These data can be considered as a benchmark for other calculations.

Employing two state-of-the-art methods, second-order many-body perturbation theory and multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock, highly accurate calculations are performed for the lowest 318 fine-structure levels arising from the $2s^{2} 2p^{4}$, $2s 2p^{5}$, $2p^{6}$, $2s^{2} 2p^{3} 3l$, $2s 2p^{4} 3l$, $2p^{5} 3l$, and $2s^{2} 2p^{3} 4l$ configurations in O-like \mbox{Mo XXXV}. Complete and consistent atomic data, including excitation energies, lifetimes, wavelengths, and E1, E2, M1 line strengths, oscillator strengths, and transition rates among these 318 levels are provided. Comparisons are made between the present two data sets, as well as with other available experimental and theoretical values. The present data are accurate enough for identification and deblending of emission lines involving the $n=3,4$ levels and are also useful for modeling and diagnosing fusion plasmas\kw{.

Large-scale self-consistent multiconfiguration Dirac--Hartree--Fock and relativistic configuration interaction calculations are reported for the $n \leq 6$ levels in Be-like ions from B II to Ne VII. Effects from electron correlation are taken into account by means of large expansions in terms of a basis of configuration state functions, and a complete and accurate data set of excitation energies, lifetimes, wavelengths, and electric dipole, magnetic dipole, electric quadrupole, and magnetic quadrupole line strengths, transition rates, and oscillator strengths for these levels is provided for each ion. Comparisons are made with available experimental and theoretical results. The uncertainty of excitation energies is assessed to be 0.01\% on average, which makes it possible to find and rule out misidentifications and aid new line identifications involving high-lying levels in astrophysical spectra. The complete data set is also useful for modeling and diagnosing astrophysical plasmas.

Level energies, wavelengths, electric dipole, magnetic dipole, electric quadrupole, and magnetic quadrupole transition rates, oscillator strengths, and line strengths from combined relativistic configuration interaction and many-body perturbation calculations are reported for the 201 fine-structure states of the $2s^2 2p^6$, $2s^2 2p^5 3l$, $2s 2p^6 3l$, $2s^2 2p^5 4l$, $2s 2p^6 4l$, $2s^2 2p^5 5l$, and $2s^2 2p^5 6l$ configurations in all Ne-like ions between Cr XV and Kr XXVII. Calculated level energies and transition data are compared with experiments from the NIST and CHIANTI databases, and other recent benchmark calculations. The mean energy difference with the NIST experiments is only 0.05%. The present calculations significantly increase the amount of accurate spectroscopic data for the $n >3$ states in a number of Ne-like ions of astrophysics interest. A complete dataset should be helpful in analyzing new observations from the solar and other astrophysical sources, and is also likely to be useful for modeling and diagnosing a variety of plasmas including astronomical and fusion plasma.
