Notes. Columns: wavelength of the transition, energy to remove electrons to reach this state, excitation temperature required to populate the transition level from the ground state, critical density with electrons [e] (for T = 10 000 K) or hydrogen atoms [H] (for T = 100 K) used in Cloudy. We note that collisions of [Fe II] with H atoms are not considered in this version of Cloudy.
