State-resolved UV Photodissociation of OH: High-lying Excited States, Shape Resonances, and Thermal Cross Sections

The hydroxyl radical (OH) is a key intermediate in oxygen chemistry and one of the primary tracers of ultraviolet (UV)-driven molecular processing in astrophysical environments, including photodissociation regions, protoplanetary disks, and planetary atmospheres. Accurate photodissociation cross sections of OH are ther...
