Dynamic molecular oxygen production in cometary comae
Abundant molecular oxygen was discovered in the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Its origin was ascribed to primordial gaseous O2 incorporated into the nucleus during the comet's formation. This thesis was put forward after discounting several O2 production mechanisms in comets, including photolysis and radiolysis of water, solar wind-surface interactions and gas-phase collisions. Here ...
متن کاملOrigin and production of C(1D) atoms in cometary comae
The abundance of carbon atoms in the metastable 1D state near the cometary nucleus provides an important diagnostic of one of the principal sources of carbon in the cometary coma. This quantity may be determined in two independent ways: measurement of 1D–1P fluorescence at 1931 Å and by prompt emission of the 1D–3P doublet at 9823/9850 Å. The latter is analogous to the [O i] λλ6300/6364 emissio...
متن کاملThe Remarkable Far-ultraviolet Spectrum of Fk Comae Berenices: King of Spin
A Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE ) pointing on the ultrafast rotating yellow giant FK Comae Berenices (HD 117555; v sin i 163 km s ) recorded emission profiles of C iii k977 (T 8 ; 10 K) and O vi k1031 (T 3 ; 10 K) that are exceptionally broad and asymmetric, but nearly identical in shape, aside from a blueward absorption component in the latter (identified as interstellar O i, ra...
متن کاملOptimal Wavelength Selection in Ultraviolet Spectroscopy for the Estimation of Toxin Reduction Ratio during Hemodialysis
Introduction The concentration of substances, including urea, creatinine, and uric acid, can be used as an index to measure toxic uremic solutes in the blood during dialysis and interdialytic intervals. The on-line monitoring of toxin concentration allows for the clearance measurement of some low-molecular-weight solutes at any time during hemodialysis.The aim of this study was to determine the...
متن کاملDeep-ultraviolet cavity ringdown spectroscopy.
The sensitive optical detection technique of cavity ringdown spectroscopy is extended to the wavelength range 197-204 nm. A novel design narrowband Fourier-transform-limited laser is used, and the technique is applied to gas-phase extinction measurements in CO2, SF6, and O2. Further demonstration of the system capabilities is given in high-resolution recordings of the Schumann-Runge (0, 0), (1,...
