Excitation of H_2 and HD in shocks and PDRs
F. Bertoldi, B. T. Draine, D. Rosenthal +5
Photodissociation regions (PDRs) and shocks give rise to conspicuous emission from rotationally and vibrationally excited molecular hydrogen. This line emission has now been studie…

ISO-SWS observations of pure rotational water absorption lines toward Orion-IRc2
C. M. Wright, E. F. van Dishoeck, J. H. Black +4
First detections of thermal water vapor absorption lines have been made toward Orion IRc2 using the Short Wavelength Spectrometer (SWS) on board the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO…

Jupiter's hydrocarbons observed with ISO-SWS: vertical profiles of C2H6 and C2H2, detection of CH3C2H
T. Fouchet, E. Lellouch, B. Bezard +3
We have analysed the ISO-SWS spectrum of Jupiter in the 12-16 micron range, where several hydrocarbons exhibit rovibrational bands. Using temperature information from the methane a…
