High-Resolution Observations of the Infrared Spectrum of Neutral Neon
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have observed the spectrum of neutral neon (Ne I) emitted by a microwave-excited electrodeless discharge lamp with the National Institute of Standards and Technology 2 m Fourier transform spectrometer. The spectra cover the regions 6929 Å to 11 000 Å with a resolution of 0.01 cm(-1) and 11 000 Å to 47 589 Å with a resolution of 0.007 cm(-1). We present a line list that includes more than 650 classified lines and provides an accurate and comprehensive description of the infrared spectrum. The response of the Fourier transform spectrometer was determined by using a radiometrically calibrated tungsten strip lamp, providing relative intensities that for moderate to strong lines are accurate to approximately 10 % over the entire range of the observations. The identities of many lines that were previously multiply classified are unambiguously resolved.

Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (irs) Observations of Large Magellanic Cloud Planetary Nebula Smp 83
The first observations of the infrared spectrum of the LMC planetary nebula SMP 83 as observed by the recently launched Spitzer Space Telescope are presented. The high-resolution (R 600) spectrum shows strong emission lines but no significant continuum. The infrared fine-structure lines are used, together with published optical spectra, to derive the electron temperature of the ionized gas for ...
متن کاملTWO PHOTON TRANSITIONS IN THE OPTOGALVANIC SPECTRUM OF NEON
Seventeen two-photon transitions for neon have been observed in the 580- 635 nm spectral region for use in the spectroscopic study of its higher excited levels, which are not accessible by one-photon absorption. To compare the two and one-photon absorption signals originating from the same lower level, an effort was made to record single-photon optogalvanic spectrum in the available wavele...
متن کاملElemental Abundances of Blue Compact Dwarfs from Mid-ir Spectroscopy with Spitzer
We present a study of elemental abundances in a sample of thirteen Blue Compact Dwarf (BCD) galaxies, using the ∼10–37μm high resolution spectra obtained with Spitzer/IRS. We derive the abundances of neon and sulfur for our sample using the infrared fine-structure lines probing regions which may be obscured by dust in the optical and compare our results with similar infrared studies of starburs...
متن کاملInfrared Spectra of Noble Gases (12000 to 19000 A)
The first spectra of helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon, excited by discharges in Geissler tubes, operated by direct connection to a transformer, have been explored in the infrared (12000 to 19000 A). A high-resolution, automatically recording, infrared spectrometer, employing a 15000-lines-per-inch grating and lead-sulfide photoconducting detector, was used as the dispersing instrument. A...
متن کاملXMM - Newton observations of the low – mass X – ray binary XB 1832 – 330 in the galactic globular cluster NGC 6652
Context. We report on two XMM-Newton observations performed in 2006 of the luminous low–mass X–ray binary XB 1832–330 which is located in the galactic globular cluster NGC 6652 and is probably an ultracompact binary (orbital period, P orb , of <1 hour). Aims. The aim of these observations is to investigate the low-energy absorption towards XB 1832–330 and in particular to search for Ne-rich mat...
