Scientific paper

Simple useful formulae are derived for rates of electron energy loss through the rotational and vibrational excitation of polar molecules. Accuracy of the these formulae is tested by comparing rates from the formulae with results of direct numerical calculations from the relevant cross sections on some molecules abundant in the cometary atmospheres. The energy loss rates, as functions of the difference between electron and gas temperatures, are presented in graphical forms for H2O, OH, CO, CH, NH, NH3, and also for H2 and O for the gas temperatures: 300 K, 500 K and 1000 K.
