Excited Hydrogen Chemistry in Protostellar Outflows
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 August 2017
Abstract
Chemical models of protostellar and other outflows have been reassessed in the light of new chemical data. In particular, reactions involving excited hydrogen (2s,p) are shown to be important in hot, dense outflows. The H(n=2) + H → H2 + hv reaction is much less of a contributor to the H2 formation rate than the recently measured H(n=2) + H → H2+ + e- reaction, providing conditions allow the 0.75eV endothermicity of this reaction to be overcome.
