The Effects of Doubly Ionized Chemistry on SH+ and S^+2 Abundances in X-ray Dominated Regions

N. P. Abel, S. R. Federman, P. C. Stancil

Recent laboratory measurements for the S^+2 + H2 reaction find a total rate coefficient significantly larger than previously used in theoretical models of X-ray dominated regions (…

On the enhanced cosmic-ray ionization rate in the diffuse cloud towards Zeta Persei

Gargi Shaw, G. J. Ferland, R. Srianand +3

The spatial distribution of the cosmic-ray flux is important in understanding the Interstellar Medium (ISM) of the Galaxy. This distribution can be analyzed by studying different m…

Low energy H+CO scattering revisited: CO rotational excitation with new potential surfaces

B. C. Shepler, B. H. Yang, T. J. Dhilip Kumar +6

A recent modeling study of brightness ratios for CO rotational transitions in gas typical of the diffuse ISM by Liszt found the role of H collisions to be more important than previ…

Molecular Hydrogen in Star-forming regions: implementation of its micro-physics in Cloudy

G. Shaw, G. J. Ferland, N. P. Abel +2

Much of the baryonic matter in the Universe is in the form of H2 which includes most of the gas in galactic and extragalactic interstellar clouds. Molecular hydrogen plays a signif…

Modelling Alkali Line Absorption and Molecular Bands in Cool DAZs

Derek Homeier, Nicole F. Allard, France Allard +4

Two peculiar stars showing an apparent extremely broadened and strong NaI D absorption have been discovered in surveys for cool white dwarfs by Oppenheimer et al. (2001) and Harris…
