  Electron-impact vi->vf vibrational excitations cross sections, involving
rovibrationally excited N_{2}(v_{i}, J) and NO(v_{i}, J) molecules (fixed J),
are calculated for collisions occurring through the nitrogen resonant
electronic state N_{2}^{-} (X ^{2}\Pi_{g}), and the three resonant states of
nitric oxide NO^{-}(^{3}\Sigma^{-},^{1} \Delta,^{1} \Sigma^{+}). Complete sets
of cross sections have been obtained for all possible transitions involving 68
vibrational levels of N2(X ^{1}\Sigma^{+}_{g}) and 55 levels of NO(X ^{2}\Pi),
for the incident electron energy between 0.1 and 10 eV. In order to study the
rotational motion in the resonant processes, cross sections have been also
computed for rotationally elastic transitions characterized by the rotational
quantum number J running from 0 through 150. The calculations are performed
within the framework of the local complex potential model, by using potentials
energies and widths optimized in order to reproduce the experimental cross
sections available in literature. Rate coefficients are calculated for all the
(v_{i}, J) \rightarrow (v_{f}, J) transitions by assuming a Maxwellian electron
energy distribution function in the temperature range from 0.1 eV to 100 eV.
