Charge transfer processes involving multiply-charged ions modify the ionization structure of astrophysical plasmas and exert a major influence on plasmas created by the absorption of high frequency radiation. As a recombination mechanism, charge transfer suppresses the higher ionization stages. In hot plasmas, charge transfer ionization may enhance the abundances of highly charged systems. Charge transfer excitation also occurs and the resulting emission lines provide a unique diagnostic probe of the neutral content of the plasma, the ionization distribution and the nature of the ionization source.
Examples of the role of charge transfer as a recombination, ionization and excitation mechanism in astrophysical plasmas are presented.
