Hi,
I really tried to find some explanation about this notation S(x)-S(y), but I couldn't find any! I am reading a paper about Excitation of H_2 in Photodissociation regions, and it all the time say something like:
"we find that the model can account for the first low H2 rotational line (e.g., 0-0 S(0)-S(1)) probing the bulk of the gas at moderate temperature, as well as the ro-vibrational line (e.g., 1-0 S(1)"
What are exactly the transitions 0-0 S(0)-S(1)? And the difference between them to 1-0 S(1)?
If someone could give a reference explaining this notation I would be very glad.
Thanks in advance,
Amarante
