Abstract

The importance of the symmetric as well as non-symmetric ion-atom absorption processes in broad spectral region within a model of solar photosphere and also within the corresponding sunspot models, has been previously emphasized. This motivated us to study the photo-association, charge-exchange and photo-dissociation absorption processes in the cases of non-symmetric and symmetric systems involving hydrogen and potassium atoms, ions, molecules and molecular-ions. We have calculated the data for molecules and molecular state characterizations needed for current computation. We determined the partial and average cross-sections and corresponding spectral absorption rate coefficients, as the functions of wavelengths, and temperatures (100 nm ⩽λ⩽1000 nm, 400 K ⩽T⩽10 000 K). Our calculations are performed for conditions that exist in different layers of weakly ionized stellar atmospheres. The obtained data are potentially of high impact and may have broad further applications, e.g., for modelling of laboratory plasmas and various astrophysical objects including geocosmical ones.
