Abstract

Energy levels, radiative rates, collision strengths, and effective collision strengths for all transitions up to and including the $n = 5$levels of Al XIII have been computed in the jjcoupling scheme including relativistic effects. All partial waves with angular momentum $J \le 60$have been included, and resonances have been resolved in a fine energy grid in the threshold region. Collision strengths are tabulated at energies above thresholds in the range $170.0 \le E \le 300.0$Ryd, and results for effective collision strengths, obtained after integrating the collision strengths over a Maxwellian distribution of electron velocities, are tabulated over a wide temperature range of $4.4 \le \log \,T_{\rm e} \le 6.8$K. The importance of including relativistic effects in a calculation is discussed in comparison with the earlier available non-relativistic results.
