Comparison of submillimeter and ultraviolet observations of neutral carbon toward Zeta Ophiuchi

Abstract

We have observed the ^3P_1 → ^3P_0 ground state transition of C_I emission toward ζ Oph. We compare this observation with predictions made from Copernicus ultraviolet absorption measurements of the population of the ^3P_1 level and with millimeter wave observations of CO.
