Abstract
Rate coefficients for radiative association of SO, SO+, and S2 are estimated. For temperatures ranging from 300 to 14,000 K, the direct radiative association rate coefficients are found to vary with temperature from 1.73 × 10-19 to 7.29 × 10-19 cm3 s-1 and from 1.49 × 10-21 to 3.70 × 10-19 cm3 s-1 for S2 and SO, respectively. The rate coefficients for formation through the inverse predissociation for S2 are found to vary from 3.59 × 10-18 to 1.44 × 10-20 cm3 s-1. For SO+, the direct rate coefficient varies rapidly with temperature from 3.62 × 10-27 cm3 s-1 at 2000 K to 2.34 × 10-20 cm3 s-1 at 14,000 K. The direct radiative association rate coefficients increase with the increase in temperature, but the inverse predissociation rate coefficients decrease with the increase in temperature.
