Rotational excitation of the carbon monosulphide (CS) molecule by thermal electron-impact is studied using molecular -matrix method combined with adiabatic-nuclei-rotation (ANR) approximation. Rate coefficients are obtained for electron temperatures in range 5–5000 K and transitions involving levels up to J= 40. It confirmed that dipole allowed (ΔJ= 1) dominant corresponding rate exceed those neutrals at least five orders magnitude. As a result, present rates should be included any detailed...
