Photoabsorption and photodissociation of molecules important in the interstellar medium. Annual report, 15 May 1986-14 January 1987

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6707844
A windowless apparatus was constructed and used to measure the photoabsorption and fluorescence cross sections of molecules in the extreme ultraviolet region. Photoabsorption and fluorescence cross sections of H/sub 2/O, D/sub 2/O, H/sub 2/S, D/sub 2/s, and CO were measured in the 50 to 200 nm region. These quantitative data are currently needed for the determination of the formulation and destruction rates of molecules in the interstellar medium.
