A. ELECTRON DENSITY MEASUREMENTS IN CONTINUOUS ARGON ION LASERS We are continuing our studies of the electron density in argon ion laser discharges. Several improvements have been made in our diagnostic equipment since our last report. l We present some preliminary results of measurements performed on continuous argon discharges. 1. Steady-State Discharge Measurements Figure VII-1 is a block diagram of the experimental apparatus used for determining the electron densities of steady-state plasma discharges. The measurements are termed steady-state to distinguish them from the investigation of transient behavior discussed below. The microwave signal input to the cavity was obtained by mixing the Fig. VII-1. Continuous-discharge experimental equipment.

Theoretical emission line ratios for [Fe III] and [Fe VII] applicable to the optical and infrared spectra of gaseous nebulae.
Recent calculations of electron impact excitation rates and Einstein A-coefficients for transitions among the 3d(6) levels of Fe III and among the 3d(2) levels of Fe VII are used to derive theoretical emission line ratios applicable to the optical and infrared spectra of gaseous nebulae. Results for [Fe III] are generated for electron temperatures T(e) = 7,000-20,000 K and densities N(e) = 10(2...
متن کاملSurface Brightness Gradients Produced by the Ring Waves of Star Formation
We compute surface brightness profiles of galactic disks for outwardly propagating waves of star formation with a view to investigate the stellar populations in ring galaxies. We consider two mechanisms which can create outwardly propagating star forming rings in a purely gaseous disk — a self-induced wave and a density wave. We show that the surface brightness profiles produced by both scenari...
متن کاملCurrent and Voltage Measurements in the Gaseous Electronics Conference RF Reference Cell
Measurements of the electrical characteristics of discharges in the Gaseous Electronics Conference Radio-Frequency Reference Cell are reviewed here. Topics include: common sources of error in the measurements; comparisons of current and voltage data among GEC cells; the effects of gas impurities, surface conditions and the external circuitry on the reproducibility of the electrical characterist...
متن کاملOne-Dimensional Modeling Studies of the Gaseous Electronics Conference RF Reference Cell
A review of the one-dimensional modeling studies in the literature of the Gaseous Electronics Conference (GEC) reference plasma reactor is presented. Most of the studies are based on the fluid model description of the discharge and some utilize hybrid fluid-kinetic schemes. Both models are discussed here briefly. The models provide a basic understanding of the discharge mechanisms and reproduce...
متن کاملLimits on Hot Galactic Halo Gas from X-Ray Absorption Lines
Although the existence of large-scale hot gaseous halos around massive disk galaxies have been theorized for a long time, there is yet very little observational evidence. We report the Chandra and XMM-Newton grating spectral detection of O VII and Ne IX Kα absorption lines along the sight-line of 4U 1957+11. The line absorption is consistent with the interstellar medium in origin. Attributing t...
