Radiative processes affecting the abundance of interstellar OH

Abstract

Photodissociation of OH dominates its destruction for a significant range of density and shielding in H I regions. Although inverse predissociation may provide an observable flux of ultraviolet recombination photons, it can provide only a small fraction of the total observed OH in most H I regions.
