A high accuracy computed line list for the HDO molecule
نویسندگان
چکیده
A computed list of HD16O infrared transition frequencies and intensities is presented. The list, VTT, was produced using a discrete variable representation two-step approach for solving the rotation–vibration nuclear motions. The VTT line list contains almost 700 million transitions and can be used to simulate spectra of mono-deuterated water over the entire temperature range that are of importance for astrophysics. The line list can be used for deuterium-rich environments, such as the atmosphere of Venus, and to construct a possible ‘deuterium test’ to distinguish brown dwarfs from planetary mass objects.

HDO absorption spectrum above 11500 cm 1 : Assignment and dynamics
Assignment of an HDO line list extracted from a recently measured H2O/HDO/D2O Fourier transform absorption spectrum recorded in the 11600–23000 cm 1 region by Bach et al. (M. Bach, S. Fally, P.-F. Coheur, M. Carleer, A. Jenouvrier, A.C. Vandaele, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 232 (2005) 341–350.) is presented. More than 94% of the 3256 lines are given quantum number assignments and ascribed to line absorp...
متن کاملIntracavity laser absorption spectroscopy of HDO between 12145 and 13160 cm 1
The high resolution absorption spectrum of monodeuterated water, HDO, has been recorded by Intracavity Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (ICLAS) in the 12145–13160 cm 1 region. The achieved sensitivity (noise equivalent absorption on the order of amin 10 9 cm ) allowed detecting transitions with line strengths as weak as 10 27 cm/molecule which is about 50 times lower than the weakest line intensit...
متن کاملModeling the distribution of H2O and HDO in the upper atmosphere of Venus
[1] The chemical and dynamical processes in the upper atmosphere of Venus are poorly known. Recently obtained vertical profiles of trace species from the Venus Express mission, such as HCl, H2O, and HDO, provide new information to constrain these processes. Here, we simulate these profiles, using the model we have developed and described in a related paper by Yung et al. (2008), with special em...
متن کاملDeuterated molecules in DM Tau: DCO, but no HDO
We report the detection of the J=2-1 line of DCO in the proto-planetary disk of DM Tau and re-analyze the spectrum covering the 465 GHz transition of HDO in this source, recently published by Ceccarelli et al. (2005). A modelling of the DCO line profile with the source parameters derived from high resolution HCO observations yields a DCO/HCO abundance ratio of ≃ 4×10−3, an order of magnitude sm...
متن کاملSimulating electric field interactions with polar molecules using spectroscopic databases
Ro-vibrational Stark-associated phenomena of small polyatomic molecules are modelled using extensive spectroscopic data generated as part of the ExoMol project. The external field Hamiltonian is built from the computed ro-vibrational line list of the molecule in question. The Hamiltonian we propose is general and suitable for any polar molecule in the presence of an electric field. By exploitin...
