The KHe molecular system is extensively studied by multi-reference configuration interaction calculations. Potential energy curves are constructed for 20 lowest electronic states, and molecular parameters are extracted. A comparison of our results with previous works shows remarkable agreement. A further calculation of the dipole moment functions through a wide range of the internuclear separation is performed and their corresponding curves are presented. Charge transfer is detected from the change in the sign of these functions particularly for R < Re. Negative dipole moment values near Re are predicted for 3 excited states, (1)2Π, (3)2∑+ and (1)4Π, which are of a relatively short-range strong-binding nature. On the other hand, weakly binding long-range excited states predict positive values of the dipole moment near Re reflecting the K-He+ polarity.
