Chlorine in Dense Interstellar Clouds: the Abundance
We report the first detection of a chlorine-bearing molecular species in the interstellar medium via emission from the J = 1----> 0 transition of HCl at 625.9 GHz toward OMC-1. The relative strengths, widths, and velocities of the resolved hyperfine components are consistent with moderate optical depth emission originating from dense, quiescent molecular cloud material (VLsR = 9 km s1). The ove...
متن کاملA very reduced upper limit on the interstellar abundance of beryllium
We present the results of observations of the λ3130.4Å interstellar absorption line of Be ii in the direction of ζ Per. The data were obtained at the CanadaFrance-Hawaii 3.6m Telescope using the Coudé f/4 Gecko spectrograph at a resolving power λ/∆λ≃ 1.1× 10, and a signal-to-noise ratio S/N ≃ 2000. The Be ii line is not detected, and we obtain an upper limit on the equivalent width W3130.4 ≤ 30...
متن کاملAn Upper Limit on the Abundance of Small
I describe the detection of 201 highly significant dips in the count rate of Sco X-1 from a search of some 500 ks of archival RXTE PCA data, which could be caused by TNO occultations. I show that most of these dips are correlated with particle showers in the PCA, suggesting that the dips in count rate result from large amounts of charge built up in the detectors. From the distribution of partic...
متن کاملNew upper limits on the interstellar O 2 abundance
We report new observations of molecular oxygen in absorption at z = 0.685 in front of the radio source B0218+357. The lines at 56.3 and 118.7 GHz have been observed, redshifted to 33.4 and 70.5 GHz respectively, with the 12m at Kitt Peak, 43m at Green Bank telescopes, and the 45m Nobeyama radio telescope. Deriving the surface filling factor of the absorbing dark cloud with other lines detected ...
متن کاملLow upper limit to methane abundance on Mars.
By analogy with Earth, methane in the Martian atmosphere is a potential signature of ongoing or past biological activity. During the past decade, Earth-based telescopic observations reported "plumes" of methane of tens of parts per billion by volume (ppbv), and those from Mars orbit showed localized patches, prompting speculation of sources from subsurface bacteria or nonbiological sources. Fro...
