are proposed in the present work. The rovibrational nonequilibrium and chemical reactions
of three low-lying electronic states of O 2 ( X 3 Σ g−, a 1 Δ g, and b 1 Σ g+) are
investigated in one-dimensional post-shock flow environments, including the rovibrational
state-to-state kinetics and electronic excitations due to heavy-particle collisions. Based on
the results of rigorous state-resolved calculations and state-of-the-art shock-tube …
