Temperature and density dependent cooling function for H with updated H/H collisional rates
Carla Maria Coppola, François Lique, Francesca Mazzia +2
The energy transfer among the components in a gas determines its fate. Especially at low temperatures, inelastic collisions drive the cooling and the heating mechanisms. In the ear…
Non-thermal photons and direct photodissociation of H2, HD and HeH+ in the chemistry of the primordial Universe
C. M. Coppola, M. V. Kazandjian, D. Galli +2
Non-thermal photons deriving from radiative transitions among the internal ladder of atoms and molecules are an important source of photons in addition to thermal and stellar sourc…
Constraining cloud parameters using high density gas tracers in galaxies
M. V. Kazandjian, I. Pelupessy, R. Meijerink +4
Far-infrared molecular emission is an important tool used to understand the excitation mechanisms of the gas in the inter-stellar medium of star-forming galaxies. In the present wo…
State-to-state vibrational kinetics of H and H in a post-shock cooling gas with primordial composition
C. M. Coppola, G. Mizzi, D. Bruno +4
The radiative cooling of shocked gas with primordial chemical composition is an important process relevant to the formation of the first stars and structures, as well as taking pla…
Role of the H channel in the primordial star formation under strong radiation field and the critical intensity for the supermassive star formation
Kazuyuki Sugimura, Carla M. Coppola, Kazuyuki Omukai +2
We investigate the role of the H_2^+ channel on H_2 molecule formation during the collapse of primordial gas clouds immersed in strong radiation fields which are assumed to have th…
