Abstract.

The relativistic coupled cluster theory is employed to calculate electric quadrupole (E2) transition probabilities among the doublet states of Mg II which are of interest in astrophysical problems. This is the first time a highly correlated fully ab initio method has been used to compute these quantities for this particular ion. The line strengths and transition probabilities of a number of different transitions are reported and compared with those available in the literature.
