Description

In a recent paper [Barlow *et al.*, Science **342,** 1343 (2013)], the ArH$^{+}$ ionic system has been detected in the Crab Nebula. We accordingly propose to examine in this work the radiative association of the argon ions $^{36}$Ar$^{+}$ and $^{38}$Ar$^{+}$ with atomic hydrogen and calculate the related temperature-dependent rate coefficients. To do so, we have to construct the transition dipole moments and the potential-energy curves via which both Ar$^{+}$ and H species approach each other. The corresponding data points are borrowed from the most recent and reliable calculations of Stolyarov and Child [PCCP **7,** 2259 (2005)]. Once the curves are constructed, the rate coefficients are computed quantum mechanically and analyzed in the temperature range $1-10000$ K.
