Aims. Accurate atomic data for Ti II are essential for abundance analyses in astronomical objects. The aim of this work is to provide accurate and extensive results of oscillator strengths and lifetimes for Ti II.
Methods. The multiconfiguration Dirac–Hartree–Fock and relativistic configuration interaction (RCI) methods, which are implemented in the general-purpose relativistic atomic structure package GRASP2018, were used in the present work. In the final RCI calculations, the transverse-photon (Breit) interaction, the vacuum polarisation, and the self-energy corrections were included.
Results. Energy levels and transition data were calculated for the 99 lowest states in Ti II. Calculated excitation energies are found to be in good agreement with experimental data from the Atomic Spectra Database of the National Institute of Standards and Technology based on the study by Huldt et al. Lifetimes and transition data, for example, line strengths, weighted oscillator strengths, and transition probabilities for radiative electric dipole (E1), magnetic dipole (M1), and electric quadrupole (E2) transitions, are given and extensively compared with the results from previous calculations and measurements, when available. The present theoretical results of the oscillator strengths are, overall, in better agreement with values from the experiments than the other theoretical predictions. The computed lifetimes of the odd states are in excellent agreement with the measured lifetimes. Finally, we suggest a relabelling of the 3d2(12D)4p y2 D3/2o and z2 P3/2o levels.
