Zeeman splitting in interstellar molecules
نویسنده
چکیده
The Zeeman splitting that a longitudinal magnetic field would produce on the ethynyl radical is calculated for the transitions typical of those observed in the interstellar clouds. It turns out that the ubiquitous CCH radical adds to the list of the few interstellar molecules that could be used to determine magnetic fields in molecular clouds.

Extragalactic Zeeman Detections in Oh Megamasers
We have measured the Zeeman splitting of OH megamaser emission at 1667 MHz from five (ultra)luminous infrared galaxies ([U]LIRGs) using the 305 m Arecibo telescope and the 100 m Green Bank Telescope. Five of eight targeted galaxies show significant Zeeman-splitting detections, with 14 individual masing components detected and line-of-sight magnetic field strengths ranging from ≃ 0.5 − 18 mG. Th...

We have identified and classified Zeeman pairs in the survey by Argon, Reid, & Menten of massive star-forming regions with 18 cm (Π3/2, J = 3/2) OH maser emission. We have found a total of more than 100 Zeeman pairs in more than 50 massive star-forming regions. The magnetic field deduced from the Zeeman splitting has allowed us to assign an overall line-of-sight magnetic field direction to many...
متن کاملZeeman Numbers and Orbit Splitting in Flows
The Zeeman number is an invariant of flow equivalence of suspensions of shifts of finite type. We prove that the Zeeman number increases by one when splitting a periodic orbit of a Smale flow. This allows us to define the Zeeman number of any non-anomalous Anosov flow.
متن کاملZeeman splitting in OH megamasers
We detected significant Zeeman splitting in the 1667MHz OH megamaser emission from four ultraluminous galaxies. These detections, in addition to being the first extragalactic detection of the Zeeman effect in an emission line, suggest that OH megamasers are excellent extragalactic magnetometers.
متن کاملZeeman splitting in ballistic hole quantum wires.
We have studied the Zeeman splitting in ballistic hole quantum wires formed in a (311)A quantum well by surface gate confinement. Transport measurements clearly show lifting of the spin degeneracy and crossings of the subbands when an in-plane magnetic field B is applied parallel to the wire. When B is oriented perpendicular to the wire, no spin splitting is discernible up to B = 8.8 T. The obs...
