A strong absorption band of OH has been observed near 1221 Å. From the analysis of high resolution spectra, it has been determined that the upper state is a 2Σ− Rydberg state and the constants of the OH and the corresponding OD state have been obtained. It is shown that the new absorption band will give interstellar absorption lines of OH at 1221.166, 1222.071, and 1222.524 Å. New constants have also been determined for the A2Σ+ and X2Π states of OD.

Interstellar matter is certainly one of the fields where a very large telescope (VLT) will prove to be most fruitful. This includes (somewhat paradoxically, but this will be explained later) the study of extended emissions. I will now examine in turn the different domains of interest for a VLT.I. Neutral diffuse matterOptical and near IR observations will mainly contribute to this domain through high-resolution spectroscopy of interstellar absorption lines in the spectra of stars. These lines are resonant lines of atoms (NaI, KI, etc.) or ions (CaII, TiII, etc.) as well as of some molecules (CH+, CH, CN, CS+, C2 in the near IR). Clearly this kind of study is always photon - limited; a VLT will collect more photons than present telescopes, thus increase the possibilities considerably.
