The rates of excitations and decays induced by blackbody radiation were calculated in the single-electron Fues' model potential approach for states up to n = 100 in rubidium s-, p- and d-series. On the basis of the calculations, general regularities for maxima rates of blackbody radiation induced decays and excitations were ascertained and a simple polynomial-based approximation formula was proposed for blackbody radiation induced decay and excitation rates of Rydberg states. A temperature parameterization for T = 50-1500 K was also proposed and respective matrices of coefficients were calculated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
