The water vapour line broadening (γ) and shifting (δ) coefficients for 497 lines of 16 vibrational bands ν1, ν3, 2ν2, ν1 + ν2, ν2 + ν3, 3ν2, 2ν2 + ν3, ν1 + 2ν2, ν1 + ν3, 2ν1, 2ν3, 6ν2, 2ν1 + ν2,ν2 + 2ν3, ν1 + 3ν2, and 3ν2 + ν3 induced by krypton pressure were measured with Bruker IFS 125 HR Fourier transform spectrometer. The measurements were performed at room temperature, at the spectral resolution

This article provides an overview of recent astronomical studies and a closely coordinated laboratory program devoted to the study of the physics and chemistry of carbon rich Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars. The increased sensitivity and angular resolution of high altitude ground-based millimeter-wave interferometers in the past few years has enabled molecular astronomers to determine the excitation

Previously unobserved nitrous oxide transitions around 2.5 μm are measured by intracavity laser absorption spectroscopy (ICLAS) analyzed by time-resolved Fourier transform (TRFT) spectrometer. With an accuracy of the order of 10(-3) cm(-1), measured positions of 1637 assigned weak transitions are provided. They belong to 42 vibrational transitions, among which 33 are observed for the first time. These

In a classic paper by G. Herzberg and J. W. C. Johns entitled "The Spectrum and Structure of Singlet CH(2)" (Proc. Roy. Soc. A 295, 107-128 (1966)) the analysis of the &btilde;(1)B(1)<--ã(1)A(1) red absorption band system of CH(2) is discussed in detail for the first time. In addition to that band system the observation of a fragment of a weak near ultraviolet absorption band system is reported. The

In this paper we show that the rotational structure of the nu(5)/2nu(9) infrared band near 11 &mgr;m can be synthesized to high accuracy from pure rotational measurements in the millimeter- and submillimeter-wave region. The analysis uses an internal axis system Hamiltonian that accounts for the rotational dependence of the torsional splitting in 2nu(9), the induced torsional splitting in nu(5), and

The electric dipole moments of symmetric top tertiary butyl derivatives were determined from Stark effect measurements made with cavity Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy under conditions of supersonic expansion. The resulting values are 1.9562(15), 2.1817(16), 2.2574(17) and 2.2122(17) D for tertiary butyl fluoride, chloride, bromide, and iodide, and 4.0129(30), and 4.0640(31) for tertiary butyl

For the first time the 118-GHz line of the oxygen molecule was investigated in the laboratory under a real atmosphere. The experiment was carried out by modern resonator spectroscopy methods on the laboratory air at atmospheric pressure. The shape of the line under the real atmosphere was found to fit the Van Vleck-Weisskopf profile within experimental accuracy. The air broadening parameter value was

The nu(3) band of D(3)SiF near 890 cm(-1) recorded with a resolution of 2.4x10(-3) cm(-1) has been explored for the (29)Si and (30)Si isotopic species. Moreover, the nu(3)+nu(6)-nu(6) and 2nu(3)-nu(3) bands for the main (28)Si isotopomer have been assigned. For this purpose the nu(3)+nu(6) and 2nu(3) bands at 1435.697 and 1769.531 cm(-1) have been studied. Ground state parameters of the (29)Si and

Glyoxylic acid is a possible candidate for interstellar detection. Many transitions of the submillimeter wave spectrum of the ground vibrational state of its most stable conformer have been measured for the first time. These transitions have been used together with microwave transitions measured previously to obtain accurate spectroscopic constants that should facilitate a search for this compound
