Radiation Processes that Contribute to the Radiation of the Hot Plasma
1. Line radiation: excited by electron collisions
dominant at T < 106 K
2. Free-free radiation (Bremsstrahlung) dominant above 107 K
3. Recombination radiation „free-bound emission“ e- + I+ I0 + γ
4. Two-photon radiation: only possibility to radiatively depopulate the 2S level in H-like ions (longer lifetimes, comparable to forbidden transitions)
• All these processes have at their base the collision of an electron with an ion !

• The temperature dependence comes from the v-1 dependence
• The Boltzmann factor creates a sharp high frequency cut-off
• The Gaunt factor is near unity and has a weak temperature and frequency dependence (approximations given by Karzas & Latter 1961, Gronenschild & Mewe 1978)
Produced by the acceleration of an electron when it passes an ion close enough (inside the shielding radius). The observed radiation is an integral over all possible impact parameters and over the thermal distribution of the electrons. A rough results can be derived classically and analytically (see e.g. Jackson „Electrodynamics“). But quatum effects play an essential role for close impact. The quantum mechanical „corrections“ are summed into the „Gaunt factors“.

The cooling rate increases with T1/2 and the cooling time also increases with T1/2 . At high temperature when most of the ions are completely ionized and free-free emission dominates, the total cooling coeficient also has this temperature dependence.
H. Böhringer MPE Seminar 24.11.2005 8
Recombination Radiation
Most of the recombination radiation comes from recombination into the ground state (for systems with not too many electrons) and about 5 – 15% contribution is from recombination into higher levels.
Considering only the ground state contribution we have the following frequency and temperature dependence:

Line Radiation I
For the line contribution to the spectrum we have to take care of:
• the excitation of higher levels by electron collisions (in the thin plasma approximation all excitations lead to radiation of a (or more) photons)
• the braching ratio of radiative transitions into different lower lewels
• all the transitions allowed by the selection rules have to be considered (inspection of Grotrian diagrams)
• Astrophysical X-ray spectra are dominated by allowed transitions contrary to what is observed in the optical band.

Ionization Equilibrium Iprocesses
All radiation processe depend on Ne Ni.. Thus we need to now all Ni = Nx x fi (the chemical abundance of the species and the fractional ionization).
Thus we have to calculate the ionization structure (determined at this hot temperatures mostly by collisional ionization) either for a thermal equilibriukm situation or much more complicatedly by a time dependend model.
In thermal equilibrium we have:
