Electron-impact excitation of neutral oxygen
Aims. To calculate transition rates from ground and excited states in neutral oxygen atoms due to electron collisions for non-LTE modelling of oxygen in late-type stellar atmospheres, thus enabling reliable interpretation of oxygen lines in stellar spectra. Methods. A 38-state R-matrix calculation in LS -coupling has been performed. Basis orbitals from the literature (Thomas et al.) are adopted...
متن کاملScaling of plane-wave Born cross sections for electron-impact excitation of neutral atoms
Two methods to scale plane-wave Born cross sections for electron-impact excitations of neutral atoms are shown to produce excitation cross sections comparable in accuracy to those obtained by more sophisticated collision theories such as the convergent close-coupling method. These scaling methods are applicable to integrated cross sections for electric dipole-allowed transitions. Scaled cross s...
متن کاملElectron - Impact Excitation of Interstellar Molecules
Electron-molecule collisions play a crucial role in astrophysical environments where the electron fraction is higher than about 10−5, e.g. in the diffuse ISM, PDRs or comets. We present here a brief review of our recent R-matrix calculations of rate coefficients for electron-impact rotational excitation of interstellar molecules. Our major result is the prediction of emission lines from higher ...
متن کاملElectron-impact rotational excitation of water
Rotational excitation of H2O, HDO and D2O by thermal electron impact is studied using the molecular R-matrix method. Rate coefficients are obtained up to electron temperatures of 8000 K. De-excitation rates and critical electron densities are also given. It is shown that the dominant transitions are those for which J = 0, ±1, as predicted by the dipolar Born approximation. However, a pure Born ...
متن کاملElectron-impact vibrational excitation of cyclopropane.
We report a very detailed test of the ab initio discrete momentum representation (DMR) method of calculating vibrational excitation of polyatomic molecules by electron impact, by comparison of its results with an extensive set of experimental data, covering the entire range of scattering angles from 10° to 180° and electron energies from 0.4 to 20 eV. The DMR calculations were carried out by so...
