Description
Measurements of the equivalent width and the intrinsic width of two lines CH 3879 and CH 2886 in the direction of Zeta Ophiuchi are presented. The results indicate that the molecular line widths have a substantial thermal component. The temperature implied by the widths, about 1200 K, is much higher than those found from other diagnostic or found in any models of such clouds. A relation between the CH and CN molecular line widths in the Zeta Oph cloud is suggested. 13 references
