Scientific paper

It is noted that the cooling of electrons by vibrational and rotational excitation of molecular hydrogen plays an important role in the thermal balance of electrons in atmospheres containing significant amounts of H2. Calculations are described of vibrational and rotational cooling rates of electrons by H2. Results for a wide range of electron and neutral temperatures are presented, and analytical formulas for some to the cooling rates are given.
