Self- and H2-broadened line parameters of carbon monoxide in the first overtone band
No full textIn this study we have re-analyzed high-resolution spectra of pure CO and CO broadened by hydrogen recorded
in the spectral range of the first overtone band.\footnote{V.~Malathy Devi \textit{et al.},
\textit{J.~Mol.~Spectrosc.} \underline{\textbf{228}} (2004) 580-592.} We have used four different line shapes in
the multispectrum analysis (Voigt, speed dependent Voigt,
Rautian, and Rautian with speed dependence) and compared the resulting line shape parameters.
The line mixing coefficients have been calculated
using the Exponential Power Gap and the Energy Corrected Sudden scaling laws.
A classical approach was applied
to calculate CO line widths in CO-H and CO-CO collisions.
The formulas of classical impact theory\footnote{R.~G.~Gordon, \textit{J.~Chem.~Phys.}

are used for calculation of dipole absorption half-widths along with exact 3D Hamilton equations
for simulation of molecular motion. The calculations utilize Monte Carlo averaging over
collision parameters and simple interaction potential (Tipping-Herman + electrostatic).\footnote{J.-P.~Bouanich

Molecules are treated as rigid rotors. The dependences of CO half-widths on rotational quantum number

Previous issue date: 2019-06-21"We present results of an extensive analysis of the CO 10 band in 40 spectra of pure carbon monoxide and carbon monoxide mixed with air recorded at temperatures ranging between 79 K and room temperature. All spectra were recorded using the 1-m McMath-Pierce Fourier Transform spectrometer located at Kitt Peak, AZ, USA and two temperature-controlled gas cells.
The analysis was carried out using multispectrum fitting software\footnote{D.~C.~Benner,
C.~P.~Rinsland, V.~Malathy Devi, M.~A.~H.~Smith and
D.~A.~Atkins, \textit{JQSRT} \underline{\textbf{53}} (1995) 705-721.} and the Voigt, speed-dependent Voigt and Rautian line shape models. When using the Rautian model, we employed calculated narrowing parameters obtained from computed diffusion constants\footnote{J.~O.~Hirschfelder, C.~F.~Curtiss and R.~B.~Bird, \underline{Molecular theory of gases and liquids}, New York, Wiley and Sons, 1952.} for each of the absorber-perturber pairs CO-CO, CO-N and CO-O.
The experimentally retrieved temperature dependences of the line shape parameters are been compared with previous published results and with the results of calculations for CO-N.

Search for gravitational waves associated with the InterPlanetary Network short gamma ray bursts
No full textWe outline the scientific motivation behind a search for gravitational waves associated with short gamma ray bursts detected by the InterPlanetary Network (IPN) during LIGO's fifth science run and Virgo's first science run. The InterPlanetary Network localisation of short gamma ray bursts is limited to extended error boxes of different shapes and sizes and a search on these error boxes poses a series of challenges for data analysis. We will discuss these challenges and outline the methods to optimise the search over these error boxes
The far-infrared spectrum of 12C2HD
No full textThe infrared spectrum of 12C2HD has been studied using synchrotron radiation at the far-infrared beam line, Canadian Light Source, Saskatoon, Canada. The spectra were recorded at a resolution of 0.00096 cm-1 in the 60 to 360 cm-1 range using a Bruker IFS 125 Fourier transform spectrometer. In total, 821 vibration rotation lines were observed and assigned to the P(J), Q(J) and R(J) transitions of the v 5←v4 difference band and associated hot bands with J up to 35 and (v4+v5) up to 3. These new transitions were analysed together with 4518 transitions involving bending states with (v I+v5) up to 3 available in the literature. The spectroscopic parameters obtained from the fit reproduce 4909 transitions with a standard deviation of 0.00028 cm-1. The v5←v 4 bands of 13CH12CD and 12CH 13CD were also detected and analysed. © 2011 Taylor & Francis.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
Fourier transform synchrotron spectroscopy of torsional and CO-stretching bands of CH(3)(17)OH
No full textThe Fourier transform spectrum of the CH(3)(17)OH isotopologue of methanol has been recorded in the 65-1200 cm(-1) spectral region at a resolution of 0.00096 cm(-1) using synchrotron source radiation at the Canadian Light Source. Here we present an extension to higher torsional states of our investigation of the torsion-rotation transitions within the small-amplitude vibrational ground state, now including assignments of more than 16 500 lines involving quantum numbers in the ranges v(t) <= 3, J <= 30 and vertical bar K vertical bar <= 12, as well as a study of the strong CO-stretching band centered at 1020 cm(-1). Energy term values have been determined for assigned ground and CO-stretching levels by use of the Ritz program, and have been fitted to series expansions in powers of J(J + 1) to determine substate origins and effective B values. Several Fermi anharmonic and Coriolis level-crossing resonances coupling the CO stretch with high torsional ground-state levels have been identified and characterized. The study is motivated by astrophysical applications, with a principal aim being the compilation of an extensive set of energy term values to permit prediction of astronomically observable sub-millimetre transitions to within an uncertainty of a few MHz.

To support atmospheric remote sensing of methane, we have measured the air-broadened widths and air-induced pressure shift coefficients for over 1400 transitions of CH belonging to + near 4220 cm, + near 4320 cmand + near 4540 cm. Self-broadening coefficients have been obtained as well. Intercomparisons of broadening coefficients of the various bands have revealed that the widths vary according to both the lower and upper state quantum numbers.

Measured and Theoretical Self- and N₂-Broadened Line Parameters in the ν₆ Band of CH₃D
No full textMonodeuterated methane (CH3D) is a constituent trace species in several planetary atmospheres, and its spectrum is often used in determinations of atmospheric H/D ratios. Methane plays an important role in terrestrial atmospheric chemistry. It is the most abundant hydrocarbon in our atmosphere and as an IR active gas makes an important contribution to the enhanced greenhouse effect. Methane is increasing in the Earth’s atmosphere at a rate of about 1% per year. The current knowledge of its sources and sinks are not sufficient to isolate the cause of the observed changes in the mixing ratio and global distribution. As a result, the infrared spectrum of methane and its isotopomers is continually being investigated in order to obtain improved spectroscopic line parameters needed to interpret remote sensing observations. Remote sensing instruments require laboratory data sets based on measurements of very high accuracy.
The primary objective of this study is to enhance our spectroscopic knowledge of monodeuterated methane in the ν6 band located at 6.8 microns. We present measurement results for self- and N2-broadened line parameters from room temperature down to about 80 K. A total of 23 high-resolution, high S/N spectra recorded with two Fourier transform spectrometers: a) the McMath-Pierce FTS located on Kitt Peak and b) a Bruker IFS-125HR FTS at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) 1 were fit simultaneously in a multispectrum approach. 2 The set included both pure CH3D and dilute mixtures of CH3D in research grade nitrogen. The variations in the measured line parameters with the symmetry species, the rotational quantum numbers and with temperature are reported and discussed in comparison with earlier measurements.
For the case of nitrogen-broadening, we also provide semi-classical calculations based on a rigorous treatment of the active molecule as a symmetric top, a model intermolecular potential comprising both short- and long-range interactions, and exact classical trajectories. These calculations are done for various temperatures and for wide ranges of rotational quantum numbers. The role of the various high-order multipoles in the line-broadening at low, middle and high values of the rotational quantum number J is investigated. Main features of the K-dependences are also analyzed. These theoretical values are included in the general comparison of our new experimental and already available in the literature results. 3Poster Session II: June 24, 2014
