Abstract

Theoretical calculations of radiative and dielectronic recombination rate coefficients for carbon and oxygen ions are reviewed. For radiative recombination into excited states, various hydrogenic formulae for recombination are considered, and results for total rates obtained by using explicit calculations of photoionization cross sections from the ground states of these ions in conjunction with such hydrogenic formulae are reported. For dielectronic recombination, the isolated-resonance approximation for the calculation of cross sections and rates is discussed, and rate coefficients for several carbon and oxygen ions are presented. The effects of electric fields and electron density on dielectronic recombination rates are considered.
