Table 11:

Charge exchange reaction rates relevant to the post-shock PIR in an oxygen-dominated medium.
Reaction $\Delta E$, eV $\delta E$, eV $\alpha_{\rm CX}$, cm3/s Emitted lines; notes
O+ + C0 $\to$ O0(1D) + C+ 2.36 0.39 $1\times10^{-9}$ [O I] 6300, 6363 Å
O+ + Si0 $\to$ O0 + Si+(3s 3p2 4P) 5.47 0.15 $3\times10^{-9}$ [Si II] 2329-2351 Å
O+ + S0 $\to$ O0 + S+(2P) 3.26 0.22 $3\times10^{-9}$ [S II] 4069, 4076, 6716, 6731, 10 287-10 370 Å
O+ + Fe0 $\to$ O0 + Fe+ (excited) 5.72 many transitions $1.7\times10^{-9}$ multiple lines; rate from Rutherford & Vroom (1972)

Notes: it is assumed that the atoms and ions are in their ground states (or excited fine-structure states) before the charge-exchange reaction. $\Delta E$ denotes the difference in the ionization potentials of atom and ion in their ground states, $\delta E$denotes the same difference for outgoing atom and ion in specified states, and $\alpha_{\rm CX}$ is the charge exchange rate estimate. Only excited state classification is shown.
