| Description | Journal: Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics The broadening and shift of the astrophysically important resonance lines of singly ionised calcium and magnesium due to collisions with atomic hydrogen were calculated. Adiabatic molecular potentials for $CaH^{+}$ and $MgH^{+}$ were obtained from ab initio molecular structure programs, assuming frozen cores. Reasonable agreement was obtained with published calculations for these potentials, where available. The collision dynamics were treated semiclassically and broadening rates evaluated over a temperature range 500-5000 K. The results for broadening were larger than other theoretical estimates, based on long-range forces, but agree well with the values derived from analyses of solar profiles. Difficulties of correlating the broadening of a given spectral line by helium with that produced by atomic hydrogen are discussed. Values for the shifts and the fine-structure changing rates are also reported. |
