The relative intensity of two CI lines at 1993.6 โข and 1657.4 A, observed in the limb spectrum of the sun, is a factor 2.6 โข 10 a larger than that expected if both lines were optically thin. It is shown that the observed intensity ratio may be explained in terms of the transfer of photons from 2 165

The purpose of this note is to examine the suggestion of Fokker (1970) to explain why the second branch of U-bursts is ill-developed and to present an alternate possible explanation which was suggested by an examination of the trajectories derived by him. Let us assume along with Fokker (1970) that
The intensity ratios of emission lines from the lithium-like ion OvI are calculated as a function of electron temperature using recent computations of collision strengths by Zhang, Sampson, and Fontes (1990). The line ratios are strongly dependent on temperature and are appropriate as a diagnostic o
