Abstract:
Spectral coefficients of spontaneous emission and absorption (for 365nm <=
{lambda} <= 820nm range) due to ion-atom radiation processes H^+^ + H(1s)
<--> H^+^_2_(1{SIGMA}_g_) and H^+^ + H(1s) <--> H(1s) +H^+^ are presented.
Calculations have been performed within semiclassical approach for standard
solar photosphere and chromosphere models. The presented numerical results
enable the inclusion of considered ion-atom radiative processes in the
optical depth calculation for the layers mentioned. These results might be
of interest as well for other astrophysical plasmas with dominant hydrogen
component and temperatures around 6000 K.
