Scientific paper

In the paper "On the H2 Line Emission from NGC 6240 and Other Starburst Galaxies" by B. T. Draine and D. T. Woods (ApJ, 363,464 [1990]), there is an error in Table 1. The reported efficiencies for production of H Lyα are incorrect, owing to a factor of 10 error in estimation of the Lyα emission due to nonthermal excitation. The tabulated efficiencies for h = 1, 10, and 62.3 eV should instead be φ(H Lyα) = 8.8 x 10^-3^, 3.2 x 10^-2^, and 8.8 x 10^-2^. This error does not affect any of the other results in the paper, nor any of the conclusions. The authors thank Dr. Frank Bertoldi for bringing this error to their attention.
