The new version of FLYCHK is here:

  1. improved mixture option: Before, one can only establish a fixed for a mixture option. Now, one can specify the time-dependent of the other species in a history file. An example will be presented shortly.
  2. fast computation for non-Maxwellian case FLYCHK can use an arbitrary electron energy distribution function fe(E) for collisional rates but it takes much longer to run the case since rate calculations involve the numerical integration over fe(E). A new scheme is implemented to expedite the calculations.

Q&A section is added.

  1. A few forbidden transitions are added for He- and Li-like ions of Z<27.
  2. As a result, the relative Li-like satellites of Z <27 ions may be different from the old calculations.
  3. Collisional data by using arbitrary electron energy distribution function are corrected.
