Global frequency and intensity analysis of the / / / band system of 12 C 2 H 4 at 10 μm using the D 2h Top Data System
Abstract A global frequency and intensity analysis of the infrared tetrad of 12C2H4 located in the 600 – 1500 cm − 1 region was carried out using the tensorial formalism developed in Dijon for X2Y4 asymmetric-top molecules. It relied on spectroscopic information available in the literature and retrieved from high-resolution Fourier transform infrared spectra recorded in Brussels in the frame of either the present or previous work. In particular, 645 and 131 line intensities have been respectively measured for the weak ν10 and ν4 bands. Including the Coriolis interactions affecting the upper vibrational levels 101, 71, 41 and 121, a total of 10 757 line positions and 1645 line intensities ha…
The HITRAN2016 molecular spectroscopic database
This paper describes the contents of the 2016 edition of the HITRAN molecular spectroscopic compilation. The new edition replaces the previous HITRAN edition of 2012 and its updates during the intervening years. The HITRAN molecular absorption compilation is composed of five major components: the traditional line-by-line spectroscopic parameters required for high-resolution radiative-transfer codes, infrared absorption cross-sections for molecules not yet amenable to representation in a line-by-line form, collision-induced absorption data, aerosol indices of refraction, and general tables such as partition sums that apply globally to the data. The new HITRAN is greatly extended in terms of …
The 2009 Edition of the GEISA Spectroscopic Database
The updated 2009 edition of the spectroscopic database GEISA (Gestion et Etude des Informations Spectroscopiques Atmosphériques; Management and Study of Atmospheric Spectroscopic Information) is described in this paper. GEISA is a computer-accessible system comprising three independent sub-databases devoted, respectively, to: line parameters, infrared and ultraviolet/visible absorption cross-sections, microphysical and optical properties of atmospheric aerosols. In this edition, 50 molecules are involved in the line parameters sub-database, including 111 isotopologues, for a total of 3,807,997 entries, in the spectral range from 10-6 to 35,877.031cm-1.The successful performances of the new …
Corrigendum to “Global frequency and intensity analysis of the ν10/ν7/ν4/ν12 band system of 12C2H4 at 10 μm using the D2h top data system” [J. Quant. Spectrosc. Radiat. Transf. 182 (2016) 158–171]
Abstract This corrigendum provides a new version of one of the 3 supplementary data files associated with the article A. Alkadrou et al., J. Quant. Spectrosc. Radiat. Transf. 182 (2016) 158–171, namely the HITRAN-formatted linelist generated as described in section 5 of the article. Indeed, the K a and K c labels of the upper levels of a number of transitions belonging to the ν 10 , ν 7 and ν 4 bands listed in this supplementary data file were found to be incorrect. The linelist provided with this corrigendum corrects these erroneous assignments, and provides K a and K c labels for all the upper levels.
Self-broadening coefficients and improved line intensities for the ν7 band of ethylene near 10.5μm, and impact on ethylene retrievals from Jungfraujoch solar spectra
Relying on high-resolution Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, the present work involved extensive measurements of individual line intensities and self-broadening coefficients for the ν7 band of 12C2H4. The measured self-broadening coefficients exhibit a dependence on both J and Ka. Compared to the corresponding information available in the latest edition of the HITRAN spectroscopic database, the measured line intensities were found to be higher by about 10% for high J lines in the P branch and lower by about 5% for high J lines of the R branch, varying between these two limits roughly linearly with the line positions. The impact of the presently measured line intensities on retrieva…
Self and N-2 collisional broadening of far-infrared methane lines measured at the SOLEIL synchrotron
International audience; Following our recent study devoted to measurements of intensities of pure rotation lines of methane, room temperature far infrared spectra of methane diluted in nitrogen at five total pressures between 100 and 800 hPa have been recorded at the AILES beamline of the SOLEIL synchrotron. One hundred and five N-2 broadening coefficients of methane pure rotation lines have been measured in the 83-261 cm(-1) spectral range using multi-spectrum non-linear least squares fitting of Voigt profiles. Pressure-induced line shifts were not needed to fit the spectra to the noise level and line mixing effects were neglected. One hundred and seventy-six self broadening coefficients h…
Sensing ruthenium tetroxide Emissions : a spectroscopic study
International audience; After the Fukushima accident, it became essential to have a way to monitor in real time the evolution of a nuclear reactor during a severe accident, in order to react efficiently and minimize the industrial, ecological and health consequences of the accident. Ruthenium is a low volatile fission product but in case of the rupture of the vessel lower head by the molten corium, the air entering into the vessel oxidizes Ru into a gaseous form RuO$_4$. To monitor the presence of RuO4 allows making a diagnosis of the core degradation and quantifying the potential release into the atmosphere. RuO$_4$ is of prime importance since it can have a significant radiological impact…
Line positions and intensities in the band of ethylene near : An experimental and theoretical study
Abstract Recently, we built a tensorial formalism adapted to the spectroscopy of X2Y4 molecules. It is based on formalisms developed in Dijon for spherical-top molecules. This approach has the advantages to allow a systematic development of rovibrational interactions and to make global analyses easier to perform. We used this tool to carry out an analysis of the ν 12 band of 12C2H4 near 1450 cm - 1 , both in frequencies and intensities. 1240 line positions and 871 intensities, measured in a set of spectra recorded in Brussels, with global root mean square deviations of 1.6 × 10 - 4 cm - 1 and 1.88 % , respectively.
The high-resolution far-infrared spectrum of methane at the SOLEIL synchrotron
International audience; As a tetrahedral molecule, methane has no permanent dipole moment. Its spectrum, however, displays faint absorption lines in the THz region, due to centrifugal distorsion effects. This is important for planetary applications since this region is used to measure methane concentration in some planetary atmospheres, in particular on Titan. Up to now, all measurements relied either on some old low resolution infrared absorption spectra, or on high resolution Stark measurements for low J values only. Even if these results have been reexamined recently [E. H. Wishnow, G. S. Orton, I. Ozier and H. P. Gush, J. Quant. Spectrosc. Radiat. Transfer 103, 102-117 (2007)], it seeme…
