Detection of three new interstellar molecules ---- CCS, C 3S and C 6H ----
Abstract
A spectral scan of dark clouds made in the 22-24 GHz and 36-50 GHz region using the 45-m radio telescope of the Nobeyama Radio Observatory in Japan and 16,000-channel acousto-optical radio spectrometers has resulted in the detection of many spectral lines which could not be identified with any known molecules. Efforts such as laboratory experiments and quantum chemical calculations have resulted in some of these lines being identified with the CCS, C3S, and C6H molecules. These results are briefly described.
