  Partial photoionization cross sections from the ^1S ground and the ^3P
metastable states of the Be isoelectronic series to different final states
including a number of satellite (ionization plus excitation) channels are
studied using the R-matrix method. As expected, the ratio of each satellite
partial cross section to the dominant partial cross section is found to be a
monotonic decreasing function of Z for both the ground and the metastable
states. The complicated patterns of these ratios as functions of photon energy
are analyzed.
