Abstract:
The wavelength and Einstein A coefficient are calculated for all
rotation-vibration transitions of 4HeH+, 3HeH+, 4He2H+
and 3He2H+, giving a complete line list and the partition
function for 4HeH+ and its isotopologues. This opacity is included
in the calculation of the total opacity of low-metallicity stars and
its effect is analysed for different conditions of temperature,
density and hydrogen number fraction. For a low helium number fraction
(as in the Sun), it is found that HeH+ has a visible but small
effect for very low densities (ρ≤10-10g/cm3), at temperatures
around 3500K. However, for high helium number fraction, the effect of
HeH+ becomes important for higher densities (ρ≤10-6g/cm3),
its effect being most important for a temperature around 3500K.
Synthetic spectra for a variety of different conditions are presented.
Description:
The line lists of all the transitions allowed by the dipole transition
selection rules are given for 4HeH+, 3HeH+, 4HeD+ and
3HeD+. They includes the vibrational quantum number, the
rotational quantum number and the energy of the lower and upper
states, the transition frequency and the Einstein A coefficient
associated. The line lists were calculated using the program LEVEL 7.5
(Le Roy, 2002, Univ. Waterloo Chemical Physics Research Report CP-655,
