On the Asymmetry of Moustaches
Abstract
A careful photometry of moustaches is carried out to reveal asymmetry of their emission in the far wings (Δλ ⩾ 1 Å), if it exists. The presence of background continuous emission in spectra of moustaches demands special care with the photometry, and makes the current method of comparison of rest-intensities inadequate. The other sources of errors are also discussed. The blue asymmetry, as a systematic difference of intensities between the blue and the red wing shows itself in some cases, being 2-3 times larger than the probable errors. In most moustaches investigated, the accompanying background continuous emission shows a rapid increase to the violet.
