Photoabsorption and phototdissociation of molecules important in the interstellar medium
Abstract
The photoabsorption and photodissociation cross sections of interstellar molecules and radicals were measured in the 90 to 200 nm region using synchrotron radiation, F2 laser, excimer lasers, and discharge lamps as light sources. These data are currently needed for determining the formation and destruction rates of molecules and radicals by the interstellar radiation field.
