In the interstellar medium - the space between the stars in
galaxies - new stars are born from material that is replenished by
the debris ejected by stars when they die. This book is a
comprehensive manual for studying the collisional and radiative
processes observed in the interstellar medium. This second edition
has been thoroughly updated and extended to cover related topics in
radiation theory. It considers the chemistry of the interstellar
medium both at the present epoch and in the early Universe, and
discusses the physics and chemistry of shock waves. The methods of
calculation of the rates of collisional excitation of interstellar
molecules and atoms are explained, emphasising the quantum
mechanical method. This book will be ideal for researchers involved
in the interstellar medium and star formation, and physical
chemists specialising in collision theory or in the measurement of
the rates of collision processes.
