Rate coefficients of OCS by He

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

In typical molecular clouds, analyzing the physic-chemical conditions with non-LTE models requires the knowledge of the collisional rate coefficients of the detected molecule with the most common colliders in the interstellar medium (ISM), e.g., H_2_, He, and H. The OCS molecule has been widely observed in the ISM.

Description

However, the collision data available for this species were calculated using a potential energy surface (PES) that shows differences with more recent surfaces.

The main goal of this work is to report a new set of rate coefficients for the collisional of OCS with He based on a new PES computed at a high level of theory. A large set of ab initio energies calculated using the coupled cluster with single, double, and perturbative triple excitations (CCSD(T)) method at the completed basis set limit for the OCS+He complex is employed to develop an analytical PES. This surface is used in close-coupling calculations, and a new set of collisional rate coefficients for OCS by He is computed.

The de-excitation rate coefficients are compared with previously available data. Furthermore, a |{DELTA}j|=1 propensity rule was observed. Finally, a set of rate coefficients for the lower thirty-nine rotational states of OCS are reported, which is the largest set determined up to date for this collision.
