Dissociative Recombination of CH+ Ions

J. N. Bardsley, B. R. Junker

Open publisher page 31 citations

Abstract

Preliminary calculations of excited states of CH suggest a rate of order 1O- cm3 -1 for the dissociative recombination process e + CH+ (X 1 +) C('D) + H. Such a large rate would necessitate considerable revision of some recent models of interstellar douds. Subject headings:interstellar matter - molecules, interstellar
