Abstract
We estimate rate coefficients for charge transfer between neutral hydr ogen and helium and moderately to highly ionized heavy elements. Altho ugh charge transfer does not have much influence on hot collisionally ionized plasmas, its effects on photoionized plasmas can be profound. We present several photoionization models that illustrate the signific ant effect of charge transfer on the far-infrared lines detected by IS O.
