Emission lines arising from transitions in S II have been detected in a wide variety of astronomical sources, including planetary nebulae (Hyung, Keyes & Aller 1995). These transitions are used to derive information on emitting plasmas parameters (Te , Ne ) through diagnostic line ratios, although to calculate these quantities reliably, accurate atomic data must be employed, especially for electron impact excitation rates.
