Critical review of ultraviolet photoabsorption cross sections for molecules of astrophysical and aeronomic interest

Hudson, R. D.·1971·Reviews of Geophysics

Abstract

This paper is devoted to a critical review of photoabsorption cross sections for molecules of aeronomic and astrophysical interest at wavelengths less than 3000 A. A discussion of the relative merits of various experimental techniques is given along with possible systematic and random errors that may be associated with them. The problems in data analysis associated with finite spectral bandwidths are reviewed, with special emphasis on the interpretation of published absorption cross sections. This review does not contain a complete set of cross‐section‐versus‐wavelength values for each molecule; the prepared figures are used to compare the results of several determinations or to point out where difficulties of interpretation might arise. However, references to all papers believed to contain the more reliable data are given.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
