Description: Unattenuated solar photo rate coefficient and excess energies for dissociation, ionization, and dissociative ionization are needed for atomic and molecular species that have been identified or are suspected to exist in the atmosphere of planets, satellites (moons), comets, or as pollutants in the Earth atmosphere. This book presents the branching ratios and cross sections with resonances and have been tabulated to the greatest detail possible and the rate coefficients and excess energies have been calculated from them on a grid of small wavelength bins for the quiet and the active Sun at 1 AU heliocentric distance.
