The SEST telescope has been used for a submillimeter water maser survey toward late-type stars. Six new 321 GHz water masers were detected. These, as well as the earlier reported sources, VY CMa and o Cet, were also observed in the vibrationally excited water maser line at 96 GHz. However, only VY CMa and o Cet showed the 96 GHz emission. The line velocity of o Cet is blueshifted, suggesting that the hot water vapor at 96 GHz takes part in the pulsation-shock motion of the Mira variable.

<p></p><p> Damage to RNA from ultraviolet radiation induce chemical modifications to the nucleobases. Unraveling the excited states involved in these reactions is essential, but investigations aimed at understanding the electronic-energy relaxation pathways of the RNA nucleotide uridine 5’-monophosphate (UMP) have not received enough attention. In this Letter, the excited-state dynamics of UMP is investigated in aqueous solution. Excitation at 267 nm results in a trifurcation event that leads to the simultaneous population of the vibrationally-excited ground state, a longlived <sup>1</sup>n<sub>O</sub>π* state, and a receiver triplet state within 200 fs. The receiver state internally convert to the long-lived <sup>3</sup>ππ* state in an ultrafast time scale. The results elucidate the electronic relaxation pathways and clarify earlier transient absorption experiments performed for uracil derivatives in solution. This mechanistic information is important because long-lived nπ* and ππ* excited states of both singlet and triplet multiplicities are thought to lead to the formation of harmful photoproducts.</p><p></p>
