Non-thermal photons and H2 formation in the early Universe
Carla Maria Coppola, Daniele Galli, Francesco Palla +2
The cosmological recombination of H and He at z \sim 1000 and the formation of H2 during the dark ages produce a non-thermal photon excess in the Wien tail of the cosmic microwave…
Non-equilibrium H formation in the early Universe: energy exchanges, rate coefficients and spectral distortions
Carla Maria Coppola, Roberto D'Introno, Daniele Galli +2
Energy exchange processes play a crucial role in the early Universe, affecting the thermal balance and the dynamical evolution of the primordial gas. In the present work we focus o…
Vibrational level population of H and H in the early Universe
Carla M. Coppola, Savino Longo, Mario Capitelli +2
We formulate a vibrationally resolved kinetics for molecular hydrogen and its cation in the primordial Universe chemistry. Formation, destruction and relaxation processes for each…
Radiative cooling functions for primordial molecules
Carla Maria Coppola, Lorenzo Lodi, Jonathan Tennyson
Cooling of primordial gas plays a crucial role in the birth of the first structures in our Universe. Due to the low fractional abundance of molecular species at high redshifts, spo…
