Zusammenfassung: | A multitude of weaker Fe IX lines have been predicted in the vicinity of the strong 171 Å line that dominates the spectra of many astrophysical and laboratory sources. Some of these weaker lines have only recently been identified in the laboratory, albeit some only tentatively. Here, we present measurements on the Livermore EBIT-I electron beam ion trap that span the region from 170.0 to 173.6 Å, which surrounds the 171 Å line. The measurements stepped through electron beam energy to determine the charge state of iron associated with each observed feature. Moreover, we have minimized the presence of oxygen in the trap, because oxygen lines obscured possible Fe IX lines in past measurements and prevented their identification. Our measurement confirms formerly tentative identifications and adds several new assignments. |
