Description
Based on the results of recent laboratory observation of the infrared ν2 fundamental band of the H3+ molecular ion, the possibility of observing this important ion in interstellar space is discussed. An observation of this spectrum has been attempted with the aid of the high-resolution Fourier transform spectrometer on the 4m Mayall telescope of the Kitt Peak National Observatory. (author)
