LGV Analysis of Hydroperoxy Radical (HO2): Spectral Lines for Its Detection in a Cosmic Object
摘要
Knowing rotational and centrifugal distortion constants in conjunction with electric dipole moment for HO2 radical, we have calculated energies for rotational levels (without fine-structure splitting), and probabilities for radiative transitions between the levels. The radiative transition probabilities in conjunction with the scaled values for rate coefficients for collisional transitions between the levels, the Large Velocity Gradient (LVG) analysis for HO2 is performed. Two observed lines, 202-101 and 404-303 of HO2 are found to show MASER action. Seven lines 110-111, 21. 1-21. 2, 31. 2-31. 3, 41. 3-41. 4, 51. 4-51. 5, 61. 5-60. 6 and 71. 6-70. 7 are found to show anomalous absorption and five more lines, 71. 6-71. 7, 11. 0-10. 1, 22. 1-31. 2, 42. 3-31. 2 and 44. 1-33. 0 are found to show MASER action. These 14 lines are analyzed here and they may play key role in the identification of HO2 in a cosmic object.
