The optically thin C III spectrum - Line and multiplet intensities

C III line/multiplet intensities expected under optically thin conditions are presented over the density/ temperature ranges 4.0 - 12.0 and 4.6 - 5.0 (40,000 - l00,000 K). These improved values are obtained from a hybrid level/term calculation which makes use of the most recently available atomic data and extends the treatment down to lower densities than were achieved with our previous term representation. Some illustrative applications are given, including a brief description of the importance of the present data for interpretation of the strong C III line emission from carbon Wolf-Rayet stars.
