Energy levels and strong electric dipole transitions in magnesium-like gold

•The energy levels and strong electric dipole transitions for (Au67+) have been presented.•Correlation, relativistic and QED contributions have been considered.•The results from AUTOSTRUCTURE code are in good agreement with others.•AUTOSTRUCTURE code can be used in analyzing the performed experiments planning new ones for Au67+.

We have reported the energy levels and strong electric dipole transition parameters such as wavelengths, weighted oscillator strengths and transition rates (or probabilities) in magnesium-like gold (Au67+, Z=79) using AUTOSTRUCTURE atomic code. Recently reported data for heavy Au ions and Au plasma diagnostics are important, in particular for modeling of M-shell spectra of Au ions. In calculations, we have considered the correlation, relativistic and quantum electrodynamics effects. The obtained results have been compared with those from other works. All lines obtained from electric dipole transitions have been also presented.
