I must confess…
I’m a little nervous about talking to a group of astronomers about molecular spectroscopy. Especially as, frankly, I have utterly no idea how much chemistry everyone actually knows!
Ah, the perils of being interdisciplinary.

Buy me a coffee?
Writing this blog is a labour of love, and one which I evidently need a little encouragement towards on occasion. If you like what I write, the best way to show your gratitude would be to fuel my caffeine addiction and buy me a coffee to say thank you. All coffee donations are gratefully accepted!
Yeah, very true. That’s some serious electromagnetic radiation there. :)
Y’know… In a funny way, yes. Actually, more like a nuke x10100… :P
50 to 160nm?! Good graciousness, what on earth are you bombarding that poor CO molecule with?! A Nuke?! ;)
Why thank you. :)
…I almost feel like a fraud to say — I calculated it myself. :P
Very nice spectrum there!
Time dependent DFT theoretical spectrum of CO. With very narrow half widths to simulate cryogenic temperatures (and show the actual electronic transition wavelengths). :)
Actually, I kinda calculated it myself for my talk. Diatomics only take a couple of minutes to run…
I confess, I can’t figure out what kind of spectroscopy this is.
