Theory of resonant photoionization of highly charged ions at keV photon energies — •Zoltán Harman1,2, Marius Schütz1, Christoph H. Keitel1, Martin C. Simon1, José R.

Highly charged ions may be further ionized by x-ray radiation, as it happens in, e.g., the warm-hot intergalactic medium. Photoexcitation to an autoionizing state and the subsequent Auger decay gives rise to resonance peaks in photoion or -electron spectra. We calculate cross sections for this process for a variety of ionic systems up to highly charged Fe by means of a fully relativistic distorted wave theory, and compare them to measurements employing an electron beam ion trap and x rays from a synchrotron source (see, e.g., [1]). Understanding photoionization is a prerequisite for the interpretation of a range of astrophysical observations.
