Bowen fluorescence mechanism intensity absorption fluorescence atomic physics world point A mechanism first discovered by Bowen which explains the anomalously strong lines of O III in the spectra of some planetary nebulae as fluorescence involving the radiative excitation of the 2p3d ³P^o₂ level of O²⁺ (54.71 eV) from the 2p^{2 3}P₂ state in the ground term by He II Lyman-α photons (54.17 eV).
