The missing conformer: A comprehensive rotational spectroscopy study and astronomical search of two conformers of methyl cyanoacetate [PDF]
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 We performed a comprehensive investigation of methyl cyanoacetate (MCA) using high-resolution Fourier transform rotational spectroscopy. Two low energy conformers of MCA were observed in the vibrational ground state, in selected frequency regions from 2 ...

X-ray astronomical spectroscopy. [PDF]
Exploring the Universe, 1987 The current status of the X-ray spectroscopy of celestial X-ray sources, ranging from nearby stars to distant quasars, is reviewed. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of such spectroscopy as a useful and unique tool in the elucidation of the physical parameters of the sources.
