Abstract:
A number of peculiar spectral features is present on the solar flare X-ray spectra observed recently by RESIK bent crystal spectrometer aboard CORONAS-F satellite (Sylwester and Sylwester, 2003). The wavelengths of these features closely correspond to resonance transitions of highly ionized potassium and chlorine.

In this paper, we estimate the temperature dependence of line intensities contributing to the observed features. As chlorine and potassium belongs to the group of poorly abundant elements with their respective photospheric abundances relative to H below 10-6 in the solar plasma, their emissivity has not yet been directly calculated. Therefore, we present here the results of isoelectronic sequence interpolations of the intensity vs. temperature dependence for the strong lines corresponding to 1s2 1S0 - 1s2p 1P1 ("w" line) transition in He-like ions. Results of the calculations will be useful for the final identification of the lines observed and for determination of the absolute abundance of chlorine and potassium in solar corona.
