Abstract :
[en] Transition probabilities of 100 Ti-II emission lines, originating from 7 different atomic levels, have been determined by combining branching fractions with radiative lifetimes. The branching fractions were measured using Fourier transform spectroscopy on a hollow cathode. The radiative lifetimes of these 7 - and 35 additional - levels were measured using time resolved laser-induced fluorescence on a slow Ti ion beam. The transition probabilities of 21 very weak lines have been used to derive a solar titanium abundance of α[SUB]Ti[/SUB] = log(N[SUB]Ti[/SUB]/N[SUB]H[/SUB]) + 12=5.04±0.04 dex, which is insensitive to the solar model. This value is in disagreement with the meteoritic titanium abundance (4.93±0.02).
