Rotational transitions induced by collisions of HD ions with low energy electrons

O. Motapon, N. Pop, F. Argoubi +6

A series of Multichannel Quantum Defect Theory-based computations have been performed, in order to produce the cross sections of rotational transitions (excitations $N_{i}^{+}-2 \r…

Dissociative recombination of the CH molecular ion at low energy

K. Chakrabarti, J. Zs Mezei, O. Motapon +4

The reactive collisions of the CH molecular ion with electrons is studied in the framework of the multichannel quantum defect theory, taking into account the contribution of th…

An accurate set of HO H collisional rate coefficients for non-LTE modelling of warm interstellar clouds

Sándor Demes, François Lique, Alexandre Faure +1

Hydronium (HO) was first detected in 1986 in interstellar molecular clouds. It was reported in many galactic diffuse and dense regions, as well as in extragalactic sources.…

The effect of water and electron collisions in the rotational excitation of HF in comets

J. Loreau, A. Faure, F. Lique

We present the first set of rate coefficients for the rotational excitation of the 7 lowest levels of hydrogen fluoride (HF) induced by collision with water molecules, the dominant…

Absolute measurements of state-to-state rotational energy transfer between CO and H2 at interstellar temperatures

H. Labiad, M. Fournier, L. A. Mertens +7

Experimental measurements and theoretical calculations of state-to-state rate coefficients for rotational energy transfer of CO in collision with H are reported at the very low…

The ortho-to-para ratio of water in interstellar clouds

A. Faure, P. Hily-Blant, C. Rist +3

The nuclear-spin chemistry of interstellar water is investigated using the University of Grenoble Alpes Astrochemical Network (UGAN). This network includes reactions involving the…
