The infrared absorption spectrum of carbon disulfide has been remeasured in the region from 2 to 24 I' with cells up to 5 mm in t hickness. Fifteen bands were observed , some however being of low intensity. The strongest band for the liquid occurs at 6.621' , and t he second harmonic of this band was observed at 2.22 1' , but t he first harm onic, which should be at about 3.33 1' , was not obse...

The BL Lacertae object PKS 2155–304 was observed by the Infrared Space Observatory in May and June 1996, during a multiwavelength campaign. These are the first observations in the mid– and far–infrared bands since IRAS. In the observing period, the source showed no detectable time variability at 4.0, 14.3, 60 and 90 μm. The spectrum from 2.8 to 100 μm is well fitted by a single power law with e...

We present post-outburst observations of the mid-infrared spectrum and submillimeter continuum of the illuminating source of the newly-discovered McNeil’s Nebula in the L1630 region of Orion. The 12μm flux of this source has increased by a factor of ∼25 after the outburst, whereas the submillimeter continuum remains at its pre-outburst level. The bolometric luminosity has increased by at least ...

Four vibronic bands of the A 2B1(Piu)<--X 2A1 electronic transition of CH2+ have been observed in the near infrared from approximately 11,000-13,000 cm(-1) using a highly sensitive spectrometer based on a Ti:sapphire laser and a positive column plasma. The two states are derived from the lowest 2Piu state of the linear conformation as a result of a strong Renner-Teller effect. As expected, the ...

Here, we present our modelling (Ryde & Eriksson, 2002) of the 2.6 − 3.7μm spectrum of the red semiregular variable R Doradus observed with the Short-Wavelength Spectrometer on board the Infrared Space Observatory. We will also present the entire spectrum of R Dor up to 5μm based on our model photosphere in order to show which molecules are important for the emergent spectrum. 1. Observations an...

We combine spectra of VY CMa obtained with the shortand long-wavelength spectrometers, SWS and LWS, on the Infrared Space Observatory to provide a first detailed continuum spectrum of this highly luminous star. The circumstellar dust cloud through which the star is observed is partially self-absorbing, which makes for complex computational modeling. We review previous work and comment on the ra...

We recently described an investigation of the far-infrared (FIR) spectrum of hydrogen iodide, HI, which resulted in an accurate set of rotational and I electric quadrupole parameters for the molecule in its XS (v 5 0) state (1). In this Note, we report an extension of this work to the deuterated form of the molecule, DI. The spectrum of deuterium iodide was recorded using the third-order tunabl...

In the framework of the Bethe-Salpeter formalism used in previous papers to evaluate the quarkonium spectrum, here we reverse the point of view to extract an “experimental” running coupling α s (Q2) in the infrared (IR) region from the data. The values so obtained agree within the erros with the Shirkov-Solovtsov analytic coupling for 200 MeV < Q < 1.2 GeV, thus giving a very satisfactory unify...

We present infrared photometry and optical and infrared spectroscopy of the recentlydiscovered, extremely luminous nearby quasar PDS 456. A number of broad emission features are seen in the near-infrared which we are unable to identify. We measure a more accurate redshift from a narrow forbidden emission line and compare the optical–infrared spectrum to that of 3C 273. The close similarity sugg...
