Identification of new solar OH lines in the 10--12 micron region

  • 1. Department of Physics, University of Denver

Description

High-resolution (0.02 cm-1) infrared solar spectra obtained with a balloon-borne interferometer reveal new solar absorption features, which appear as regularly spaced quartets, in the 825--960 cm-1 region. The lines are interpreted as high N'' (25--33) pure rotation lines of solar OH. An effective amount of approx.8 x 1015 molecules cm-2 of OH is estimated from the spectra
