Infrared Spectroscopy of Interstellar Molecules

  • Chapter
Molecular Astrophysics

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 157))

Abstract

Infrared spectroscopy of molecules in regions of star formation holds the greatest potential for probing the high excitation gas adjacent to protostars and the shock fronts generated as a result of star formation activity. The current observational data at λ = 2 — 300 µm are reviewed and methods for analysis are developed. Future studies which will become possible with spectrometers in space are briefly discussed.
