Description

The richness of lines in the infrared spectral region (1-1000 μm) permits study of high velocity outflows over a broad range of physical conditions. In addition to the kinematic information obtained from each of these lines, the near-infrared lines of H2, HI, and CO, along with the mid-infrared transition of Si II, and the far-infrared lines of OI, CO, OH, and HCN provide direct measurements of the density, temperature, and radiation background at various points in the outflow
