Abstract
The processes of ionization and recombination in hot (T ≳ 0.1 MK) astrophysical plasmas are considered, emphasizing the case of optically thin plasmas. A detailed comparison among different computations is made for the coronal model. The emergent radiation spectra are treated as a function of electron temperature. The effects of optical depth, photoionization, high densities, time variations, electromagnetic fields, and non-Maxwellian electron energy distributions are briefly discussed.
