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.
