Submillimeter spectroscopy of interstellar hydrides
Abstract
We discuss airborne observations of rotational transitions of various hydride molecules in the interstellar medium, including H_2^(18)O and HCI. The detection of these transitions is now feasible with a new, sensitive submillimeter receiver which has been developed for the NASA Kuiper Airborne Observatory (KAO) over the past several years.
