Astrophysical Laser Spectroscopy
Abstract
We present the results of the discovery of optically pumped Astrophysical Lasers (APL) operating on the quantum transitions of the FeII ion and OI atom in the range 0.8-1.7 μm in gas condensations in the vicinity of Eta Carinae - most luminous and massive variable blue star of our Galaxy.
