A line list of allowed and forbidden rotational transition intensities for water
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pure rotational lines are important for monitoring water concentrations in many environments both in space and on earth. A list of line intensities of rotational transitions for H2 O is calculated using variational nuclear-motion wave functions and an ab initio dipole moment surface. This methodology should be equally reliable for both allowed and forbidden rotational transitions. Extensive comparisons are made with available intensity data for these transitions including the HITRAN and JPL databases. Problems are identified with some of these data. A list of 555 allowed and 846 forbidden rotational transition lines within the ground vibrational state is made available. r 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Variationally Computed Line Lists for SO2 and SO3
The work presented in this thesis concerns the production of high-temperature spectroscopic line lists for the SO2 and SO3 molecules, for the purposes of astrophysical, terrestrial and industrial applications. Both line lists are computed using ab initio computational methods to calculate rovibrational energy levels and dipole moment transition intensities. The hot SO2 line list is computed usi...
متن کاملPFI - ZEKE spectroscopy using coherent vacuum UV : 0 ; ( a “ II , ) - 02
The PFI-ZEKE spectra of the first four vibrational levels of O;(a “n,) are reported. The rotationally resolved photoelectron spectra were assigned by diagonalizing the appropriate Hamiltonian in a Hund’s case a basis set. An extension of a previous model for rotational line strengths (the BOS model) to the intermediate coupling case was applied to the three vibrational bands with v+ = 1-3. As h...
متن کاملFirst Principles Calculations
Calculations of the linestrengths and transition frequencies of the forbidden pure rotational spectrum of Hz in the vibrationally excited v2 state are presented. These transitions occur in the far-infrared region, and their observation may be complicated by vi u2 difference transitions. Examples of these are also given. Forbidden rovibrational transition frequencies and linestrengths have also ...
متن کاملUse of the BT2 Water Line List to Determine the Rotational Temperature and H2O Column Density of the Circumstellar Envelope on Five Dates
BT2 is the most accurate and complete synthetic water line list in existence; it includes over 505 million transitions. BT2 spectra generated at various temperatures and column densities were fitted to observed H band spectra of V838 Mon recorded on 5 dates between 20 Nov. 2002 and 25 Dec. 2004. Five absorption features in the observed spectra were identified as being due to water. With one exc...
متن کاملA high-accuracy computed water line list
A computed list of H2 O infra-red transition frequencies and intensities is presented. The list, BT2, was produced using a discrete variable representation two-step approach for solving the rotation-vibration nuclear motions. It is the most complete water line list in existence, comprising over 500 million transitions (65% more than any other list) and it is also the most accurate (over 90% of ...
