Abstract

Radio recombination lines (RRL) detected 25 years ago are now investigated in a wide, from mm to dam, range of wavelengths It has been cleared out that in Galaxy conditions an atom as a quantum system may exist with excitation level n of up to 1000 reaching the giant size of 0.1mm. RRL proved to be a new powerful tool for astrophysical research.
