Forbidden electric quadrupole (E2) and magnetic dipole (M1) transitions are of extreme importance in astrophysics. Up to now the most extensive calculations for the nitrogen isoelectronic sequence have been done using the method proposed by C.J. Zeippen [1] or in MCHF approximation [2]. To account for electron correlations both these methods use a large list of configurations. We have chosen the stationary many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) [3] for the inclusion of the electron correlations. The calculations have been perfomed in the second order in the complete model space 1s22s2p3+ 1s22p5. Relativistic corrections have been accounted for in the Breit-Pauli approximation. In the Table we present probabilities for electric quadrupole W(E2) and magnetic dipole W(M1) transitions (in s−1), wavelengths λ (in A). The comparision of the results shows that our second order calculation data in the most cases are closer to term-energy corrected ones from [1].
