Scientific paper

The study calculates the rate coefficients for the radiative association of N and O atoms for temperatures between 1 K and 2000 K. Below 200 K the effects of the interaction between the B2Pi and C2Pi states have to be included. Experimental spectroscopic data are analyzed to determine the mixing of the states and to infer the radiative and predissociation lifetimes for the quasi-bound rotational levels through which the radiative association occurs at low temperatures. At 20 K the rate coefficient is 6.5 x 10 exp -17cu cm/s, and at 200 it is 2.3 x 10 exp -17 cu cm/s.
