Lyman gamma satellites due to H-H+ collisions: Application to FUSE observations of hot white dwarfs
Abstract
New theoretical calculations of Lyman γ profiles perturbed by protons allow us to identificate a large feature near 995Å in FUSE observations of hot white dwarfs. This feature is due to quasi-molecular Lyman γ satellites due to H-H+ collisions near 991 and 996Å.
