We perform calculations of photolysis reactions using an existing model but including updated input data. These reactions are important in shaping the composition of our upper atmosphere and that of other planets, for example, controlling ozone formation and destruction. The results of our model are compared with those of previous benchmarks, and rates of various reactions provided to facilitate other researchers in developing accurate schemes to capture photolysis in planetary atmospheres.
