Leckrone et al. reported the presence of double-ionized thallium (Tl III) in the stellar atmosphere of the chemically peculiar star, chi Lupi, in 1999. Two spectral lines at 1332.3 and 1558.6 angstrom were detected in its stellar spectrum. Here, we claim that there are ions and lines that need further study to make possible the LTE abundance analysis once improved atomic data is available. In this sense, Tl III is included in the ions list that requires improved atomic data. To contribute to the solution of this problem, an analysis of the atomic parameters of the double-ionized thallium is presented here. In this work, calculations of transition probabilities were made to obtain values of the theoretical radiative lifetimes and theoretical Stark parameters for widths and shifts of 22 spectral lines of Tl III. Relativistic Hartree-Fock calculations using Cowan’s code allowed us to obtain the required transition probabilities. In our calculations, the core polarization effects were included. Later, the Griem semiempirical approach was used to obtain the Stark parameters. Our lifetimes values for 10 levels were compared with the experimental ones. In this paper, we discuss the behavior of the Stark parameters versus the temperature of three relevant spectral lines. Stark width values of the isoelectronic sequence Tl III-Pb IV are also displayed.
