    In the last years the number of multi-deuterated molecules detected in the Interstellar Medium (ISM) increased substantially. These molecules are found to be more abundant than expected when taking into account the ISM deuterium abundance (D/H = 2.0 ±\pm 0.1 ×\times 105^{-5}, Drozdovskaya {\em et al.}\footnote{Drozdovskaya, M. N., Coudert, L. H., Margulès, L., Coutens, A., Jorgensen, J. K., Manigand, S., 2022, A\&A, in press} and references therein). In order to better understand the nature of deuterium fractionation, and the interplay of the chemistry in the gas phase and on the surface of dust grains, chemical models need to be constrained by observations of singly- and multi-deuterated molecules. Doubly deuterated acetaldehyde (CD2_{2}HCHO) has not been detected in the ISM yet as it has been studied in the laboratory only up to 40 GHz (Turner &\& Cox\footnote{Turner, P. H., Cox, A. P., 1976, Chem. Phys. Lett., 42, 1}, Turner {\em et al.}\footnote{Turner, P. H., Cox, A. P., Hardy, J. A., 1981, J. Chem. Soc., 77, 1217-1231}) and hence lacks an extensive spectroscopic study, in contrast with the singly-deuterated forms CH2_{2}DCHO and CH3_{3}CDO that were detected towards the protostellar core IRAS16293-2422B (Coudert {\em et al.}\footnote{Coudert, L. H., Margulès, L., Vastel, C., Motiyenko, R., Caux, E., Guillemin, J.-C., 2019, A\&A, 624, A70}). In order to allow the first detection of CD2_{2}HCHO in the ISM, and to understand its deuterium fractionation, we are studying the rotational spectrum of CD2_{2}HCHO in the millimetre and sub-millimeter frequency range. This work should allow us to obtain an accurate spectral catalogue for CD2_{2}HCHO, which we will use to search for this molecule in star-forming regions

    Epizootic rabbit enteropathy. Study of early phenomena with fresh inoculum and attempt at inactivation

    [EN] Using 180 35-day-old SPF rabbits, this study used the effectiveness of bacitracin as a tool for acquiring more information on the various phases of ERE, in particular during the hours inoculation. Five groups of animals were used, including 3 treatments with Bacivet S(R) (bacitracin) at different times from inoculation, with the standard inoculum TEC3. Three parameters were studied: growth, mortality and stomach noises (borborygmi). A significant fall in growth rate was observed during the first 18 hours following the inoculation in all the inoculated groups, both medicated and not medicated. Treatment with bacitracin eliminated mortality and borborygmi, but not the initial fall in growth rate. Treatment starting 18 hours after inoculation is less effective during the acute phase than the preventive treatment. With a preventive treatment interrupted as soon as 18 hours after inoculation, a delay of several days was observed before the appearance of the disease (fall in growth rate, manifestation of borborygmi) and total mortality was reduced. Very few pathogens can explain this early fall in growth rate. Bacitracin is an antibiotic which offers good control of the disease, and probably of the pathogen but not of the physio-pathological disturbances in the first few hours. The intervention of an exogenic toxin in the first hours of contamination seems likely. Borborygmi are important criteria. The intensity and/or frequency could be used as semi-quantitative criteria to characterize the disease and for the prognosis. In a simultaneous trial, a group was contaminated with the same inoculum, heated for 10 min at 55°C, in order to obtain more information on the type of pathogen involved in the etiology of ERE. This treatment did not modify the virulence of the inoculum.This research received financial help from the Ministry for Agriculture of France (DGAL - ITAVI).Coudert, P.; Licois, D. (2005).

These are motivated by the importance of this molecule, by the availability of a large body of high-resolution data, and by the fact that it is a theoretically challenging molecule displaying a strong vibration-rotation coupling leading to an anomalous centrifugal distortion. In this paper, using the same ideas as in several previous investigationsainvestigations^{a} in which satisfactory analyses of the water molecule rovibrational energy were performed up to the second triad, an effective rotation-vibration Hamiltonian will be built and used to account for the rovibrational energy of water up to the the first hexad. In agreement with Bunker and Moss,bMoss,^{b} this effective rotation-vibration Hamiltonian is obtained starting from the exact Hamiltonian of the molecule written with Radau coordinates and adding the kinetic energy-like terms arising from the breakdown of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. The effective Hamiltonian thereby obtained accounts for all three vibrational modes of the molecule and for the overall rotation. Making use of the potential energy function obtained by Partridge and Schwenke,cSchwenke,^{c} the Schr\""{o}dinger equation for this effective Hamiltonian is then solved and rovibrational levels are obtained. In the paper, the theoretical formalism will be introduced and we hope to be able to show results concerning a global analysis of the rovibrational levels of water up to the first hexad

    MAGNETIC SPIN-TORSION COUPLING IN METHANOL

    The hyperfine structure of non-rigid molecules in which hyperfine coupling arises from equivalent nuclei that can be exchanged by large amplitude motions is of great interest and lead to unexpected results. In the non-rigid (C2_2D2_2)2_2 and (D2_2O)2_2 dimers, the hyperfine structure arising for nondegenerate tunneling sublevels can be accounted for using an effective quadrupole coupling Hamiltonian with the same coupling constant for all four deuterium atoms.footnote{Bhattacharjee, Muenter, and Coudert, {em J. Chem. Phys.}~{bf 97} (1992) 8850; and Stahl and Coudert, {em J. Mol. Spectrosc.}~{bf 157} (1993) 161.} In the non-rigid species CD3_3COH and HCOOCH3_3, the large amplitude torsional motion leads to hyperfine patterns which are qualitatively dependent on the torsional symmetry of the levels.footnote{Coudert and Lopez, {em J. Mol. Spectrosc.}~{bf 239} (2006) 135; and Tudorie, Coudert, Huet, Jegouso, and Sedes, {em J. Chem. Phys.}~{bf 134} (2011) 074314.} The interaction between a large amplitude torsional motion and the hyperfine coupling may also lead to a less known hyperfine effect, the so-called magnetic spin-torsion coupling, which was first studied by Heuvel and Dymanusfootnote{Heuvel and Dymanus, {em J. Mol. Spectrosc.}~{bf 45} (1973) 282 and {em ibid} {bf 47} (1973) 363.} and which has not yet been conclusively evidenced. In this talk, the magnetic hyperfine structure of the non-rigid methanol molecule will be investigated experimentally and theoretically. 13 hyperfine patterns were recorded using two molecular beam microwave spectrometers. These patterns, along with previously recorded ones,c^c were analyzed in an attempt to evidence the effects of the magnetic spin-torsion coupling. The theoretical approach setup to analyze the observed data accounts for the spin-torsion coupling, in addition to the familiar magnetic spin-rotation and spin-spin couplings, and relies on symmetry considerations to build a hyperfine coupling Hamiltonian and a spin-rotation-torsion wavefunction compatible with the Pauli exclusion principle. In the talk, the results of the analysis will be presented. The hyperfine coupling parameters retrieved will be discussed and we hope to be able to conclusively evidence the effects of the magnetic spin-torsion.Made available in DSpace on 2016-01-05T20:05:01Z (GMT).

    Terahertz spectroscopy of deuterated acetaldehyde: CH2DCHO

    No full text
    This study follows our recent investigations about deuterated methyl-top species of complex organic molecules: methanol,\footnote{Coudert, L. H.; {\em et al.} {\em J. Chem. Phys.}~{\bf140}, (2014) 64307} methyl formate,\footnote{Coudert, L. H.; {\em et al.} {\em ApJ}~{\bf779}, (2013) 119} and dimethyl ether.\footnote{Richard, C.; {\em et al.} {\em A\&A}~{\bf552}, (2013) A117} In particular these works led the first ISM detection of \chem{HCOOCH_2D} and \chem{CH_2DOCH_3}. Acetaldehyde is not very abundant in the ISM, but this is a very interesting case from the spectroscopic point of view as it is an intermediate case between methyl formate and methanol. In the normal species of acetaldehyde, the barrier to internal rotation\footnote{Smirnov, I. A.; {\em et al.} {\em J. Mol. Spectrosc.} ~{\bf295} (2014) 44} V3_3 is 408cm1^{-1} which is close to the value in methyl formate\footnote{Ilyushin, V.; {\em et al.} {\em J. Mol. Spectrosc.} ~{\bf255} (2009) 32}: 373 cm1^{-1}. However, the value of the Coriolis coupling constant ρ\rho is 0.33 in acetaldehyde which is a much larger value than in methyl formate, 0.08, meaning that the coupling between the torsion and the overall rotation is more important. \\ The sample was not a commercial one and half of its amount is the normal species which leads to a more difficult line assignment. The spectra were recorded in Lille between 75 and 950~GHz with a solid-state submillimeter-wave spectrometer. The starting point of the analysis was the centimeter-wave measurements carried out for the sym and asym- conformers.\footnote{Turner, P. H.; and Cox, A. P. {\em Chem. Phys.

Farady Trans.}~{\bf2}, (1981) 1217} A comparison between the approach developed for deuterated methyl formate (\chem{HCOOCH_2D}), based on the water dimer formalism, and that designed recently for deuterated methanola^{a} (\chem{CH_2DOH}) will be presented.\\ \em{This work is supported by the CNES and the Action sur Projets de l'INSU, PCMI.}Made available in DSpace on 2014-09-17T16:55:39Z (GMT).

Like the isotopic species of methanol with a symmetrical CH3_3 or CD3_3 group, it displays a strong rotation-torsion Coriolis coupling. Unlike these species, it also displays a dependence of its generalized inertia tensor on the angle of internal rotation. Its complicated rotation-torsion spectrum was investigated in the microwave,\footnote{Liu \& Quade, {\em J.\ Mol.\ Spectrosc.}~{\bf 146} (1991) 252; Su, Liu, \& Quade, {\em J.\ Mol.\ Spectrosc.}~{\bf 149} (1991) 557; Quade, Liu, Mukhopadhyay, \& Su, {\em J.\ Mol.\ Spectrosc.}~{\bf 192} (1998) 378; Su \& Quade, {\em J.\ Chem.\ Phys.}~{\bf 90} (1989) 1396} submillimeter-wave,\footnotetext[2]{Ndao, Tchana, Coudert, Motiyenko, Margul\`es, Barros, Manceron, \& Roy, {\em J.\ Mol.\ Spectrosc.}~{\bf 326} (2015) 136}\footnotetext[3]{Mukhopadhyay, {\em Inf.\ Phys.\ Tech.}~{\bf 75} (2016) 139; {\em ibid.}~{\bf 76} (2016) 116}b,c^{b,c} terahertz,b^b and FIRb,c^{b,c} domains. Although more than 3000 transitions have been assigned so far, no global analysis, like the one performed for the similar species CH2_2DOH,\footnotetext[4]{Coudert, Zemouli, Motiyenko, Margul\`es, \& Klee, {\em J.\ Chem.\ Phys.}~{\bf 140} (2014) 064307}d^d has been carried out. In this talk, new assignments in the terahertz and FIR spectra of CD2_2HOH will be reported. Parallel and perpendicular transitions, characterized by a higher KK-value than in our previous investigation,b^b could be identified up to J=35J=35 for the three lowest lying torsional states. Using the theoretical approach developed for CH2_2DOH,d^d a global analysis of the available high-resolution data has been attempted in order to check the new assignments and to retrieve spectroscopic parameters such as those describing the hindering potential and the generalized inertia tensor.\footnotetext[5]{Liu \& Quade, {\em J.\ Mol.\ Spectrosc.}~{\bf 146} (1991) 238; El Hilali, Coudert, Konov, \& Klee, {\em J.\ Chem.\ Phys.}~{\bf 135} (2011) 194309}e^e So far, this global analysis has been restricted to transitions with K4K\geq4 as rotation-torsion levels with K<4K<4 are affected by strong rotation-torsion couplings and cannot be properly modeled. Hopefully this issue will be dealt with by the time of the Symposium

    The Bending-rotation Approach Applied To The Methylene Radical Ch<sub>2</sub>

    No full text
    "Quasi-linear molecules display a large amplitude bending mode allowing them to sample their linear configuration. This leads to a strong coupling between the overall rotation and the bending mode and to a singularity in their Hamiltonian. Quasi-linearity has been extensively studied in many species including the closed shell water molecule and the open shell amidogen (NH2_2) and methylene (CH2_2) radicals. For these three species, the barrier to linearity ranges from 12\,000~cm1^{-1} for NH2_2 to less than 2000~cm1^{-1} for CH2_2.\footnote{Jungen, Hallin, and Merer, {\em Molec.\ Phys.}~{\bf 40} (1980) 25; Bunker, Jensen, Kraemer, and Beardsworth, {\em J.\ Chem.\ Phys.}~{\bf 85} (1986) 3724; Partridge and Schwenke, {\em J.\ Chem.\ Phys.}~{\bf 106} (1997) 4618} Their rovibrational energy levels can be computed with almost spectroscopic accuracy using variational approaches or, if a higher accuracy is required, with reduced dimensionality models such as the effective Bending-Rotation approach,\footnote{Coudert, Marin-Drumel, and Pirali, {\em J.\ Mol.\ Spectrosc.}~{\bf 303} (2014) 36} already applied to treat the anomalous centrifugal distortion of the water moleculeb^b and of the amidogen radical.\footnote{TD03, Martin-Drumel, Pirali, and Coudert, 72nd ISMS, Urbana-Champaign, June 19--23, 2017} In this talk, the Bending-Rotation approachb^b is extended, adding the spin-rotation and spin-spin fine couplings, so as to be used in the case of the methylene radical. The new approach is applied to the fitting of high-resolution data pertaining to this species. In addition to the ground state data previously analyzed,\footnote{Br\""unken, M\""uller, Lewen, and Giesen, {\em J.\ Chem.\ Phys.}~{\bf 123} (2005) 164315} the data set includes FIR transitions belonging to the ν2\nu_2 band.\footnote{Sears, Bunker, and McKellar, {J.\ Chem.\ Phys.}~{\bf 77} (1982) 5363; McKellar, Yamada, and Hirota, {\em J.\ Chem.\ Phys.}~{\bf 79} (1983) 1220; and Marshall and McKellar, {\em J.\ Chem.\ Phys.}~{\bf 85} (1986) 3716} 336 transitions were reproduced with a standard deviation of 1.3 using 42 spectroscopic parameters.\footnote{Coudert, {\em J.\ Chem.\ Phys.}~{\bf 153} (2020) 144115} In the talk, the results of this analysis will be reported and the dependence on the bending angle retrieved for the spin-rotation and spin-spin fine couplings will be discussed. We will also try to see if the analysis resultsf^f can be further improved."Made available in DSpace on 2021-09-24T21:09:33Z (GMT).
