This standardized document follows the rules of the Standard Description for Astronomical Catalogues. For those having to work on this catalogue using FORTRAN programs, this ReadMe file can be transformed into a f77-compliant program which reads the files making up this catalogue, in two versions: either a f77 program loading whole files into arrays, or a f77-program reading each data file line by line.

Abstract:
    We calculate effective recombination coefficients for the formation of
    the 5g-4f lines of O III in the intermediate coupling scheme.
    Photoionization data for the 5g levels calculated using the R-matrix
    method are used to derive their recombination coefficients. Cascading
    from higher states is included, allowing for the effects of finite
    electron density in a hydrogenic approximation. We explicitly include
    the distribution of population between the two ground levels of O3+
    in the calculation of the line intensities. The results are presented
    as a simple programmable formula allowing the calculation of
    recombination line intensities for electron temperatures, Te in the
    range 5000-20000K and electron densities, Ne in the range
    102-106cm-3.
