Bound 4d inner-shell excited states have been observed as 4d105s25p5→4d95s25p6 2D5∕2,3∕2 Feshbach resonances in the photodetachment spectrum of Te utilizing the merged-beam technique at the storage ring ASTRID. The strong binding of these core-excited levels, 2.95 and 1.47 eV respectively, is attributed to the extra stability of the full 5p shell. The role of the present data as a prototype spectrum for negative ions having an outer shell with a single vacancy in the initial state is discussed.
