Abstract
Expected wavelengths and relative intensities are obtained, from calculations of other workers, for the hitherto unobserved transitions 2p 53p(1 S 0)-2p 53s(1 P 1, 3 P 1) in Fe xvii. A candidate pair of lines at 197.05 Å and 242.09 Å was found in laboratory spectra and appears to be present in the spectra of a solar active region observed by the OSO-7 Goddard spectroheliograph, and in the spectrum of a Skylab-observed solar flare.
