The infrared absorption spectrum of HD has been studied in the liquid phase at temperatures between 17 and 35 K. Results were obtained for the region of the pure rotational R0(0) transition in the far infrared (80–95 cm−1), and for the fundamental band in the mid infrared (3600–4000 cm−1), using a temperature-controlled moderate-pressure cell with a 1.5-cm path length and a Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer. The R0(0) line was found to have a symmetric shape, a rather narrow width (from 1.3 to 1.8 cm−1), and an intensity that is moderately enhanced by interference effects. The R1(0) transition was found to have a more complicated asymmetrie shape due to interference effects, and at low temperatures was found to consist of (at least) two components, which strongly resemble those observed in solid HD.

Research-quality far-infrared photoacoustic (PA) spectra are obtainable with a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, the only changes with respect to conventional mid-infrared PA spectroscopy being the use of (1) a caesium iodide or polyethylene window on the PA cell, and (2) a mylar beamsplitter. Far-infrared PA spectra of several solids (bentonite, Fe+3-bentonite, and asbestos), in addition to the PA reference carbon black, have been recorded in this way. In order to improve signal-to-noise ratios in one of the spectra, we recorded ten interferograms under identical conditions; it was found that the average of the ten individually calculated spectra displays less noise and fewer spurious features than the spectrum obtained by first averaging the interferograms and then calculating a single spectrum. The results of this investigation demonstrate the feasibility of far-infrared PA spectroscopy, and illustrate that both experimental and computational procedures should be optimized in order to obtain the most satisfactory spectra.

The HIgh-Resolution Mid-infrarEd Spectrometer (HIRMES) is the 3rd Generation Instrument for the Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), currently in development at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), and due for commissioning in 2019. By combining direct-detection Transition Edge Sensor (TES) bolometer arrays, grating-dispersive spectroscopy, and a host of Fabry-Perot tunable filters, HIRMES will provide the ability for high resolution ([Formula: see text]), mid-resolution ([Formula: see text]), and low-resolution ([Formula: see text]) slit-spectroscopy, and 2D Spectral Imaging ([Formula: see text] at selected wavelengths) over the 25–122[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m mid to far infrared waveband. The driving science application is the evolution of proto-planetary systems via measurements of water-vapor, water-ice, deuterated hydrogen (HD), and neutral oxygen lines. However, HIRMES has been designed to be as flexible as possible to cover a wide range of science cases that fall within its phase-space, all whilst reaching sensitivities and observing powers not yet seen thus far on SOFIA, providing unique observing capabilities which will remain unmatched for decades.

AbstractThe star forming region S235A-B has been studied at high resolution with radio (IRAM Interferometer and VLA) and infrared (JCMT and Spitzer) observations. The region was mapped in HCO+, C34S, H2CS, SO2 and CH3CN as well as in the 1.2 and 3.3 continuum, in the cm continuum at 6, 3.6, 1.3 and 0.7 cm and in the 22 GHz water maser line, in the far infrared at 450 and 850 μm and in the mid infrared from 3.6 to 8 μm. Finally, use was made of the Medicina water maser patrol, from 1987 to 2005, to study the maser variability.

The rotational spectrum of HD has been studied in absorption at room temperature for a density range of 6–57 amagat. Spectra were obtained in the 170- to 360-cm−1 region, including the R0(1), R0(2), and R0(3) transitions, with a 1-m path length and a spectral resolution varying from 0.05 to 0.20 cm−1. The observed line strengths were used to determine values for the dipole transition moments of HD in the range of 7.4 to 7.8 × 10−4 D, which is somewhat lower than currently accepted theoretical values of about 8.3–8.4 × 10−4 D. Only very small effects (≈0.2% per amagat) were found due to collisional interference on the line strengths; this result contrasts with much larger interference effects observed in the fundamental band, and it also casts some doubt on other recent studies of the rotational spectrum where larger interference effects were reported.

AbstractSpecular reflection infrared microspectroscopy was used for chemical imaging of cross-sectioned urinary stones to determine their chemical composition and morphology simultaneously. Absorption spectral bands were recovered from reflection spectra by Kramers-Kronig transform. FUse of far-infrared radiation provides high-contrast images and allows more precise constituent distribution determinations than mid-infrared because band asymmetry after the transform caused by diffuse reflection is less in the far-infrared.
