CH+ depletion by atomic hydrogen: accuracy of new rates in photo-dominated and self-shielded environments

S. Bovino, T. Grassi, M. Tacconi +1

A detailed quantum analysis of a ionic reaction with a crucial role in the ISM is carried out to generate ab initio reactive cross sections with a quantum method. From them we obta…

Ion chemistry in the early universe: revisiting the role of HeH+ with new quantum calculations

Stefano Bovino, Mario Tacconi, Francesco A. Gianturco +1

The role of HeH+ has been newly assessed with the aid of newly calculated rates which use entirely ab initio methods, thereby allowing us to compute more accurately the relevant ab…

On the relative abundance of LiH and LiH+ molecules in the early universe: new results from quantum reactions

Stefano Bovino, Mario Tacconi, Franco A. Gianturco +2

The relative efficiencies of the chemical pathways that can lead to the destruction of LiH and LiH+ molecules, conjectured to be present in the primordial gas and to control molecu…
