We calculate the collision strengths and thermally averaged collision
strengths for electron excitation between the forty energetically lowest
levels of Fe
. The scattering calculation is more complete than any
previous work on this ion and significant differences are found in the
excitation rates for many of the extreme ultra-violet (EUV) transitions,
compared to earlier work. A detailed comparison is made between predicted
line intensity ratios and those observed in solar coronal spectra which
shows that several outstanding discrepancies are resolved by the new atomic
data.
