Absorption Line Spectroscopy in Practice

AtomDB Spectroscopy Workshop and School

August 3-5, 2020

many open ISM questions- for instance: what form is most of the interstellar carbon? graphite? graphene? polycyclic molecules? X-ray spectroscopy can tell us: absorption spectroscopy of the interstellar medium around the carbon-K edge (280 eV), using the LETGS on the Chandra X-ray Observatory (with John Staunton)

  1. Funny Line Shape: Neutral Carbon in the ISM

Transmission Spectrum

Ratio 1ES1553+113 LETGS/ 500 ksec instrument C 1s-2π* C 1s-2σ* C II 1s-2p ?? a ‘ red shoulder

J. D. Jackson: Classical Electrodynamics real and imaginary parts of the polarizability of the harmonic oscillator: imaginary part: absorption , real part: scattering frequency polarizability real part imaginary part wide narrow

the real polarizability of graphite (Draine 2016) real (scattering) imaginary (absorption) also: the scattering is orientation and polarization dependent ĉ

Transmission Spectrum

Ratio fit scattering by 0.1-0.2μm graphite spheres, random orientation, no polarization; C mass column fixed ? possibly indicative of polarization and/or alignmnent?

statements of general validity, and possibly of educational value

  1. Basic physics is fun and pops up everywhere
  2. Be prepared to ignore confusing evidence if you can identify a rational basis for doing so

and an encore: Chandra HETGS Cygnus X-3 m= (with Aswath Suryanarayanan) a P Cyg profile on the He-like Fe resonance line
