We review the gas-phase chemistry in extraterrestrial space that is driven by reactions with
atomic and molecular ions. Ions are ubiquitous in space and are potentially responsible for …

Electron–ion collisions are among the most important atomic processes in ionized gases.
They comprise elastic scattering, excitation, ionization, and recombination. Theoretical …

Spectroscopy enables the precise study of astronomical objects and phenomena. Bridging
the gap between physics and astronomy, this is the first integrated graduate-level textbook …

▪ Abstract Targeted laboratory astrophysics measurements are being conducted to address
the needs of X-ray astronomy. The measurements are producing large sets of reliable …

The available atomic data used for interpreting and modeling x-ray observations are
reviewed. The applications for these data can be divided into several levels of detail …

Using high energy–electron energy loss spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy,
and synchrotron-radiation-based x-ray absorption spectroscopy, we provide the first …

The low-energy C IV dielectronic recombination (DR) rate coefficient associated with 2s→
2p Δ n= 0 excitations of this lithium-like ion has been measured with high-energy resolution …

Dielectronic recombination data for the lithium isoelectronic sequence has been calculated
as part of the assembly of a dielectronic recombination database necessary for modelling of …

Interaction of highly charged heavy ions with electrons is one of the most important atomic
processes in high temperature plasmas, including astrophysical plasmas such as solar …

Electron-ion recombination spectra of the Li-like ion F 6+ in the energy range 0.0− 0.6 eV
from two different ion storage rings are presented, showing excellent agreement. The …
