	abstract = {The full velocity-angular momentum distribution function for gas-phase N-2(+) drifting in helium is calculated using a molecular dynamics method, and utilized to examine collision-induced rotational alignment in detail. These results are also compared with experimental measurements, most especially those of Anthony [J. Chem. Phys. 112, 10269 (2000)] and those appearing in the preceding article [Anthony , J. Chem. Phys. 114, 6654 (2001)]. Both the calculations and experiments show a number of interesting features including, drift velocities which depend upon rotational state, and quadrupolar alignment parameters which change from negative at high velocities to positive at low velocities.
