Three-body recombination of hydrogen in the early Universe (2023)
Journal Article
Flower, D. (2023). Three-body recombination of hydrogen in the early Universe. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 523(1), https://doi.org/10.1093/mnrasl/slad047

It has been suggested recently that three-body recombination of two protons and an electron might be significant in the formation of atomic hydrogen in the early Universe. We demonstrate that this process is completely negligible in the primordial pl... Read More about Three-body recombination of hydrogen in the early Universe.

Collisional cooling of primordial and interstellar media by H2 (2021)
Journal Article

We have computed the rate of collisional cooling of a gas by H2 molecules under conditions appropriate to the primordial and interstellar media. We incorporated the results of recent calculations of the rate coefficients for collisional excitation of... Read More about Collisional cooling of primordial and interstellar media by H2.

Molecular Collisions in the Interstellar Medium (2007)
Book
Flower, D. (2007). Molecular Collisions in the Interstellar Medium. (2nd ed.). Cambridge University Press

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 p... Read More about Molecular Collisions in the Interstellar Medium.
