Description
The spectral emission of the lower stratosphere in the far infrared region (100-140/cm) has been measured with a high resolution (0.02/cm) Michelson interferometer from the Gerard P. Kuiper Airborne Observatory flying at 13 km altitude. The observed spectra are compared with synthetic emission spectra in order to perform the line assignment. Most of the lines in this spectral range are due to the major atmospheric absorbers (H2O-16, O2, O3). A number of lines have been attributed to HDO, H2-17O and H2-18O and their measured frequencies are listed.

    Magnetic diffusion in solar atmosphere produces measurable electric fields
    The efficient release of magnetic energy in astrophysical plasmas, such as during solar flares, can in principle be achieved through magnetic diffusion, at a rate determined by the associated electric field. However, attempts at measuring electric fields in the solar atmosphere are scarce, and none exist for sites where the magnetic energy is

    Echo-free quality factor of a multilayer axion haloscope
    We report a methodology to determine the quality factor ( Q) of wavy dark matter detectors equipped with multilayered resonators, including Fabry-Pérot interferometers and the so-called dielectric haloscope. An anechoic chamber enables the observation of the resonance frequency and its amplitude for an unlimited series of layers for the first time

    Perspectives on the physics of late-type stars from beyond low earth orbit, the moon and mars
    With the new discoveries enabled thanks to the recent space missions, stellar physics is going through a revolution. However, these discoveries opened the door to many new questions that require more observations. The European Space Agency's Human and Robotic Exploration program provides an excellent opportunity to push forward the limits of our
