PURE FUNCTION He_rad_recomb(T)

Defined in

contrib/astro/physics/cool/cool.f90

Inputs

• T ( = max(200,T)) (in K)

Description

• Calculates rates for HeII + e^- radiative recombination using the expression of Verner & Ferland (1996ApJS..103..467V):
  • He_rad_recomb (/(neHII*ne)) = a / [sqrt(T/T0)*(1+sqrt(T/T0))^(1-b)*(1+sqrt(T/T1))^(1+b)])
    • where a,b,T0,T1 are constants, but T0 & T1 have different values for T < 1.d6 & T ≥ 1.d6
• Values are in cm³s^-1
