In our papers, Walmsley et al. (2004) and Flower et al. (2004), the captions to the tables in the Appendices A were inexact with respect to the reactions involving grains. We stated (i) that the parameters $\alpha $, $\beta $, and $\gamma $ defined the rate coefficients k (cm3 s-1) at temperature T (K) through the relation k = J $(a_g, T)\gamma (T/300)^{\alpha } {\rm exp}(-\beta /T)$, where J allowed for Coulomb focusing in reactions of positive ions and negatively charged grains (Draine & Sutin 1987, Eq. (3.4)); and (ii) that a grain radius ag = 0.1 $\mu $m was adopted in the table. In fact, the tabulated values of $\gamma $ were determined for a size distribution following the Mathis et al. (1977) power law, with limits $0.01 \le a_g \le 0.3$ $\mu $m. The tabulated value of $\gamma $ was multiplied by (ag/0.02)2 within our program, to obtain the grain cross section corresponding to the adopted value of ag = 0.1 $\mu $m. (The mean radius for the size distribution of Mathis et al. (1977) is 0.02 $\mu $m.) Thus, the tabulated values of $\gamma $ for reactions between ions and grains should be increased by a factor of 25 to correspond to the numbers actually used in our models, for a grain size ag = 0.1 $\mu $m.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
