Notes. CR refers to cosmic rays, CRPHOT to secondary photons produced by cosmic rays, XR to direct X-rays, XRSEC to secondary electrons produced by X-rays, XRPHOT to secondary photons from X-rays, IN to ion-neutral reactions, CT to charge transfer reactions, AI to associative ionization reactions, RA to radiative association reactions, ER to electronic recombination reactions for atomic ions, DR to dissociative recombination reactions for molecular ions, PH to photodissociation reactions, hν to a photon, ζ to cosmic-ray or X-ray ionization rates, and ω is the dust albedo.
c Reaction pathways are already included and/or reaction rates are self-consistently controlled in CLOUDY by default.
