AbstractThe Submillimeter Wave Astronomy Satellite (SWAS) is a NASA Small-Explorer Class experiment whose objective is to study both the chemical composition and the thermal balance in dense (NH2 > 103 cm−3) molecular clouds and, by observing many clouds throughout our galaxy, relate these conditions to the processes of star formation. To conduct this study SWAS will be capable of carrying out both pointed and scanning observations simultaneously in the lines of four important species: (1) the H2O (110–101) 556.963 GHz ground-state ortho transition, (2) the O2 (3,3–1,2) 487.249 GHz transition, (3) the CI (3P1 – 3P0) 492.162 GHz ground-state fine structure transition, and (4) the 13CO (J = 5–4) 550.926 GHz rotational transition. These atoms and molecules are predicted to be among the most abundant within molecular clouds and, because they possess low-lying transitions with energy differences (ΔE/k) between 15 and 30K (temperatures typical of many molecular clouds), these species are believed to be dominant coolants of the gas as it collapses to form stars and planets. A large-scale survey in these lines is virtually impossible from any platform within the atmosphere due to telluric absorption.

Since the construction of the first specialized submillimeter telescopes nearly a decade ago, there has been extensive mapping of astronomical sources in the previously difficult to observe ground-state fine-structure transition of [C I] at 492 GHz. We discuss recent CSO observations of [C I] and 13CO (2 → 1) lines toward bright photon-dominated regions (PDRs). These observations have revealed an interesting effect. In many sources and over a broad range of column densities, the observed intensity of the [C I] line is proportional to that of the 13CO (2 → 1) line with exceptions mainly in dense, active star-forming regions, where C I appears to be under-abundant relative to 13CO. In this paper we quantitatively display this effect.

AbstractHigh resolution maps of the 12CO J = 6 → 5 line and the [C I]3P2 →3P1 (370 μm) fine-structure transition in the Galactic nebula M17 SW are presented. The maps were obtained using the dual color multiple pixel receiver CHAMP+ on the APEX† telescope.

We have investigated the correlation, relativistic, and isotope shift effects on the fine structure levels in the ground state configuration for the antimony anion ( Sb-). Energies and radiative transition probabilities (for magnetic dipole, M1, and electric quadrupole, E2) have been obtained using the multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock method within the framework of the Breit-Pauli Hamiltonian. Therefore, the most important configuration interaction and relativistic effects have been included. Comparisons with other available works are presented. For some M1 and E2 lines the considered transition probabilities are reported for the first time
