Experimental branching fractions, transition probabilities and oscillator strengths in Gd I and Gd II

Branching fractions of 13 levels in Gd I and 12 levels in Gd II were experimentally determined based on the emission spectrum of a hollow cathode lamp. In addition, transition probabilities and oscillator strengths for 66 lines of Gd I and 74 lines of Gd II were derived from a combination of the radiative lifetimes reported in the earlier literature and the branching fractions obtained in the present paper.
