Notes. We assumed ultra-cool objects (Teff = 2800 K, 2000 K, 1000 K; log(g) = 3.0, 5.0) in case (ii) irradiated by an O3 or B0 star at distance d = 0.5 pc, in case (iii) irradiated by a WD star at distance d = 0.006 AU, and in case (i) from the ISRF. We neglected any shadowing effects. The temperature of the emitting gas was set to Tem = 105 K and Tem = 106 K to mimic a chromospheric temperature or an otherwise thermally decoupled emitting electron population.
