Abstract
New reference wavelengths for atomic transitions of Mg VII and Si VII in the 272-281 A wavelength range are derived using measurements from the Extreme ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) on board the Hinode spacecraft. Mg VII and Si VII are important ions for measuring plasma properties in the solar transition region at around 0.6 MK. The six Si VII wavelengths are 13--21 mA and 7--11 mA longer than the values in the NIST Atomic Spectra Database (ASD) and the compilations of B. Edlen, respectively. The four Mg VII wavelengths are shorter than the values in the ASD by 8-12 mA but show reasonable agreement with the Edlen values. The new wavelengths will lead to more accurate Doppler shift measurements from the EIS instrument, and will be valuable for spectral disambiguation modeling for the upcoming Multi-Slit Solar Explorer mission.
