Formation of NH+ in collisions of N+ with para- or ortho-H-2 at low temperatures - an experimental study
2014
Abstract
N+ ions are present in many astrophysical environments. Their reaction with hydrogen molecules is important for description of processes in such media.
The reaction is nearly thermo neutral and its rate depends significantly on the temperature. The rate coefficients used in astrochemical models differ by more than a factor of ten at 10 K.
