摘要
We report Cr III ultraviolet (UV) transition wavelengths measured using a high-resolution Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS), for the first time, available for use as wavelength standards. The doubly ionized iron group element spectra dominate the observed opacity of hot B stars in the UV, and improved, accurate, wavelengths are required for the analysis of astronomical spectra. The spectrum was excited using a chromium-neon Penning discharge lamp and measured with the Imperial College vacuum ultraviolet FTS. 140 classified 3d(3)4s-3d(3)4p Cr III transition lines, in the spectral range 38 000 to 49 000 cm(-1) (2632 to 2041 angstrom), the strongest having wavelength uncertainties less than one part in 10(7), are presented.
