Fluctuations in Amplification of Quanta with Application to Maser Amplifiers
TL;DR: In this paper, a set of differential equations for the amplification and absorption of quanta in maser-type amplifiers is presented, and a complete expression for the probability of distribution of the quanta distribution is obtained for the average values and fractional fluctuation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Far-infrared spectroscopy of galaxies - The 158 micron C(+) line and the energy balance of molecular clouds
TL;DR: In this paper, the 158 microns fine-structure line of C(+) toward the nuclei of six gas-rich galaxies was observed and compared with observations of the CO J = 1-0 and H I 21 cm lines, observations of far IR continuum emission, and observations of forbidden C II emission with the Galaxy.

TL;DR: In this article, the spatial distribution, kinematics, and density structure of atomic and molecular gas within about 2 p from IRS 16/SgrA was investigated and it was shown that a dense clumpy molecular gas ring surrounding a short-lived central cavity of much lower mean gas density.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical conditions, dynamics, and mass distribution in the center of the galaxy
TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent observations and theoretical models of the Galactic center (GC) is given, including the stellar cluster, radio continuum emission and interstellar clouds, the Sgr A complex, and X-ray and gamma emission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microwave Spectra of the Free Radicals OH and OD
TL;DR: In this paper, the free OH radical was detected by Zeeman modulation and the experimental results were in agreement with theoretical expectations to about one part in 2000 which is the order of accuracy of the theory.
