This paper presents core excitation spectra from coupled-cluster (CC) theory obtained from both a time-independent and a new time-dependent formalism. The conventional time-independent CC formulation for excited states is the equation-of-motion (EOM-CC) method whose eigenvalues and eigenvectors describe the core excited states. An alternative computational procedure is offered by a time-dependent CC description. In that case, the dipole transition operator is expressed in the CC effective Hamiltonian form and propagated with respect to time. The absorption spectrum is obtained from the CC dipole autocorrelation function via a Fourier transformation. Comparisons are made among the time-dependent results obtained from second-order perturbation theory, to coupled cluster doubles and their linearized forms (CCD and LCCD), to CC singles and doubles (CCSD) and the linearized form (LCCSD). In the time-independent case, considerations of triples (EOM-CCSDT) and quadruples (EOM-CCSDTQ) are used to approach sub-electron volt accuracy. A particular target is the allyl radical, as an example of an open-shell molecule. As the results have to ultimately be the same, the two procedures offer a complementary approach toward analyzing experimental results.
