DICKE’S SUPERRADIANCE IN ASTROPHYSICS. I. THE 21 cm LINE
We have applied the concept of superradiance introduced by Dicke in 1954 to astrophysics by extending the corresponding analysis to the magnetic dipole interaction characterizing the atomic hydrogen 21 cm line. Although it is unlikely that superradiance could take place in thermally relaxed regions and that the lack of observational evidence of masers for this transition reduces the probability...

متن کاملDICKE’S SUPERRADIANCE IN ASTROPHYSICS. II. THE OH 1612MHz LINE
We apply the concept of superradiance that was introduced by Dicke in 1954 to the OH molecule 1612MHz spectral line, which is often used for the detection of masers in the circumstellar envelopes of evolved stars. Because the detection of 1612MHz OH masers in the outer shells of envelopes of these stars implies the existence of a population inversion and a high level of velocity coherence, and ...
متن کاملThe Millennium Arecibo 21-cm Absorption Line Survey. I. Techniques and Gaussian Fits
We review the theory of measuring spectral lines in emission/absorption observations and apply it to a new survey of the 21-cm line against 79 continuum sources. We develop an observing technique and least-squares procedure to determine the opacity profile, the expected emission profile, and their uncertainty profiles. We discuss the radiative transfer for the two-component interstellar HI gas ...
متن کاملThe Virgo Cluster Distance from 21 Cm-line Widths
The distance of the Virgo cluster is derived in the B band from the 21 cm-line width-absolute magnitude relation. The latter is calibrated using 18 spirals with Cepheid distances mainly from HST. The calibration is applied to a complete sample of non-peculiar spirals with i > 45◦ and lying within the optical (n=49) or X-ray (n=35) contour of the cluster, resulting in a mean cluster distance of ...
