By a combination of radiative lifetimes measured using the fast-beam-laser
method and experimental branching ratios deduced from Fourier transform
spectrometer spectra, it has been possible to derive experimental f-values
for Lu II lines observed in the visible and near-ultraviolet regions.
These data are compared with relativistic Hartree-Fock calculations,
taking core polarization effects into account, and a set of additional
oscillator strengths of astrophysical interest is presented.
