CO ₂ Aggregation on Monoethanolamine: Observations from Rotational Spectroscopy

Observations of V838 Mon in the CO rotational transitions

Aims. We investigate the structure of a field around the position of V838 Mon as seen in the lowest CO rotational transitions. We also measure and analyse emission in the same lines at the position of V838 Mon. Methods. Observations have primarily been done in the 12CO J = 2→1 and J = 3→2 lines using the KOSMA telescope. A field of 3.4 squared degrees has been mapped in the on-the-fly mode in t...

Observations on Co

It is obvious to anyone familiar with the rules of the game of chess that a king on an empty board can reach every square. It is true, but not obvious, that a knight can reach every square. Why is the first fact obvious but the second fact not? This paper presents an analytic theory of a class of obviousness judgments of this type. Whether or not the specifics of this analysis are correct, it s...

Chiral rotational spectroscopy

We introduce chiral rotational spectroscopy, a technique that enables the determination of the orientated optical activity pseudotensor components BXX , BYY , and BZZ of chiral molecules, in a manner that reveals the enantiomeric constitution of a sample and provides an incisive signal even for a racemate. Chiral rotational spectroscopy could find particular use in the analysis of molecules tha...

Rotational spectroscopy meets theory.

Rotational spectroscopy is known to be a technique that is widely used to infer information on molecular structure and dynamics. In the last few decades, its role in the field of atmospheric and astrophysical investigations has rapidly grown. However, several are the challenging aspects in rotational spectroscopy, since the detection and analysis of spectra as well as interpretation of obtained...
