An out-of-plane CO survey of the first galactic quadrant

An out-of-plane survey of 2.6-mm CO emission from the first quadrant of the galactic disk carried out at Columbia University with a 1.2-meter telescope is reported. Longitude-velocity diagrams for the galactic plane and for latitude b + or - 0.5 deg are given. The half-thickness of the CO plane, its displacement, and the emissivity of CO, all as functions of galactic radius, are shown. New results are generally consistent with those reported before.

Hyperfine structure of furan.

The hfs of five rotational transitions of furan (C4H4O) has been resolved with a beam maser spectrometer with a resolution of about 500 Hz. All significant details of the observed structure are accounted for by the spin-spin and spin-rotation interactions of the four protons, and the coupling constants for these interactions have been determined to high precision. In particular, the diagonal elements of the spin-rotation tensors have been determined to about 10 Hz.

Laboratory measurement of the 2-centimeter, 2/11/-2/12/ transition of normal formaldehyde and its carbon-13 and oxygen-18 species.

Beam-maser spectrometric measurements to an accuracy of about 100 Hz have been conducted of the 2(11)-2(12) transition for the isotopic species of greatest astronomical interest - i.e., H2CO, H2(13)CO, and H2C(18)O. The samples used were not isotopically enriched, monomeric formaldehyde vapors. For these species, all the coupling constants required to calculate the hyperfine structure of any rotational transition have been determined.
