A knowledge of the radiative lifetimes of excited atomic states is of wide interest, not only in the detailed understanding of intrinsic atomic structure and dynamics but also in the fields of plasma diagnostics and astrophysics. The transition rates of intercombination and electric-dipole forbidden lines are of particular importance, since their low transition probability gives them long optical depths in plasmas and astrophysical environments.
