Radiofrequency recombination lines

RF spectral recombination lines from atomic level transitions, discussing populations, H lines, electron temperature, density and emission and formation

Dupree, A. K.↗

Radiofrequency recombination lines from the interstellar medium

Observations of recombination lines form normal H II regions, extended H II regions, nonthermal sources, and the H I medium are discussed. Detection of recombination lines from elements other than hydrogen may provide a means of identifying fossil Stromgren spheres at high temperature.

UV and radiofrequency observations of Wolf-Rayet stars

Observations of W stars in the ultraviolet by OAO 2 and at 750 and 1400 MHz with the Green Bank telescopes are discussed. The emphasis is on the Green Bank observations of W stars with symmetric nebulae around them, their interpretation, and comparisons with other data. The implications regarding mass distribution, internal motion, flux density, ejected mass, velocity dispersion, and expanding envelopes are considered in detail.

Performance of an ion-cyclotron-wave plasma apparatus operated in the radiofrequency sustained mode

An experimental study has been made of an ion-cyclotron-wave apparatus operated in the RF-sustained mode, that is, a mode in which the Stix RF coil both propagates the waves and maintains the plasma. Problems associated with this method of operation are presented. Some factors that are important to the coupling of RF power are noted. In general, the wave propagation and wave damping data agree with theory. Some irregularities in wave fields are observed. Maximum ion temperature is 870 eV at a density of five times 10 to the 12th power cu cm and RF power of 90 kW. Coupling efficiency is 70 percent.
