contents Dielectronic recombination resonance strengths, energy-differential cross sections, and recombination rate coefficients are calculated fully relativistically for Fe$^{2+}$ ions. The ground-state and resonance energies are determined using the multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock method. Radiative and auto-ionization rates are computed with a relativistic configuration interaction method. For the calculation of Auger widths and resonance strengths, the continuum electron is treated within the framework of the relativistic distorted-wave model. Notably, the calculated level energies for Fe$^{2+}$ not only align well with experimental results but also show improvements compared to earlier theoretical studies. These fully relativistic calculations provide a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of the recombination process. This is particularly important in astrophysics and plasma physics, especially for studying phenomena such as kilonova events.
