Table 8: Radiative decay rates for forbidden transitions that de-populate the metastable 3s23p3d 3F4 level. i is the level index of the lower level in the transition. M1 denotes a magnetic dipole transition, M2 a magnetic quadrupole transition, and E2 an electric quadrupole transition. M1+E2 indicates that the M1 and E2 components are comparable in strength. The symbols $\vartriangleleft $ and $\blacktriangleleft $ indicate that the values are different from those of the present calculations by amounts greater than 30% and a factor 2, respectively.
