Abstract
Bounds to the emission probability and lifetime are calculated for the Ar XVII state using Drake's form of the magnetic dipole transition operator. Variational wave functions of increasing quality lead to theoretical error bounds of about 0.24%, thereby sharpening the discrepancy between theoretically and experimentally determined lifetimes.
