Scientific paper

The production of isotopic effects in oxygen due to self-shielding of photolysing radiation by the Schumann-Runge bands of (O-16)2 is investigated. The model studied is the simple case of incoming radiation falling on a gaseous medium of uniform composition. The enhancement of O-17 and O-18 production upon photodissociation of O2 is calculated for various column densities, and its dependence on temperature and the presence of other molecules is examined. The issue of whether the products of photolysis can be trapped and thus preserve a peculiar isotopic composition is discussed.
