Abstract:
We calculate total recombination coefficients for Ne2+ + e- and
effective recombination coefficients for the formation of selected
lines of Ne II. New photoionization data are calculated which
accurately map the near threshold resonances and are used to derive
recombination coefficients for principal quantum numbers, n≤15,
including radiative and dielectronic recombination. Cascading from
higher states is included, allowing for the effects of finite electron
density in a hydrogenic approximation. The effects of population in
the excited states of the recombining ion are investigated.

Note (1): In Case A, all emission lines are assumed to be optically thin.
In Case B, lines terminating on the 2Po term are assumed to be
thick and no radiative decays to this state arte permitted when
calculating the population structure. See Baker & Menzel,

Note (3): Fit parameters and maximum deviations from the calculated data are
given for the effective recombination coefficients at
Ne=104cm-3. The coefficients are fitted by a least-squares
algorithm to the functional form:
αeff=10-14*atf(1+b(1-t)+c(1-t)2+d(1-t)3),
where t=Te[K]/104, and a, b, c, d and f are constants.
Fitting is valid for the whole temperature range studied for all
lines except those denoted by asterisk in the last column.
