We examine the effects of low-temperature, or $\Delta$$n = 0$, dielectronic recombination (DR) on the ionization balance of the Fe M-Shell (Fe IX through Fe XVI). Since $\Delta$$n = 0$ rates are not available for these ions, we have derived…
The loss of close-in planetary atmospheres is influenced by various physical processes, such as photoionisation, which could potentially affect the atmosphere survivability on a secular timescale. The amount of stellar radiation converted…
