Abstract

Planetary systems are formed in dense interstellar clouds where chemistry is driven by complex ion-molecule processes.To improve astrochemical models, we present theoretically calculated datasets of cross sections and rate coefficients for important molecular ions under astrophysical conditions.The results provide a dataset relevant to protoplanetary disks and laboratory plasmas, and support the development of a user-friendly platform for data dissemination within the Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Center (VAMDC) and the Serbian Virtual Observatory (SerVO).
