X-ray spectroscopy of astrophysical plasmas.
We provide a qualitative review of key X-ray spectral diagnostics of astrophysical plasmas. We begin with a brief discussion of the two major types of equilibria, collisional ionization and photoionization, and then consider the behaviour of hydrogen-like, helium-like, iron L-shell and iron K-shell transitions for these separate cases. Where possible, we discuss explicit examples using high-res...
متن کاملMicrowave and terahertz spectroscopy
8 1.4.1 Introduction Spectroscopy, or the study of the interaction of light with matter. has become one of the major tools of the natural and physical ciences during this century. As the wavelength of the radiation is varied across the electromagnetic spectrum, characteristic properties of atoms, molecule , liquid and solids are probed. In the optical and ultraviolet regions (A. ""' I J-Lm up t...
متن کاملIv. Microwave Spectroscopy
The side-arm method for observing chemical recombinations described in the Quarterly Progress Report of April 15, 1958, page 24, is being used to study oxygen-atom recombination within the gas volume and on surfaces. Two modes of volume recombination have been considered: (a) O + 0O3 +0 203 0 03 + O 02 + 02 (b) O + O + 0 2 O + O 2 Reaction (a), involving ozone as an intermediate, proceeds at a ...
متن کاملPhotodissociation of small carbonaceous molecules of astrophysical interest
Astronomical observations have shown that small carbonaceous molecules can persist in interstellar clouds exposed to intense ultraviolet radiation. Current astrochemical models lack quantitative information on photodissociation rates in order to interpret these data. We here present ab initio multi-reference configurationinteraction calculations of the vertical excitation energies, transition d...
متن کاملMicrowave lens for polar molecules.
We here report on the implementation of a microwave lens for neutral polar molecules suitable to focus molecules in both low-field-seeking and high-field-seeking states. By using the TE{11m} modes of a 12 cm long cylindrically symmetric microwave resonator, Stark-decelerated ammonia molecules are transversally confined. We investigate the focusing properties of this microwave lens as a function...
