TL;DR: In this paper, the cooling rate of 3 M ammonium sulfate droplets undergoing free evaporation via Raman thermometry was measured and a value of 0.58 ± 0.05 was obtained.

TL;DR: In this article, the rotational spectrum of HCO+ in its lowest excited bending state was measured, and it was shown that the vibrationally excited formyl ion transitions will provide high contrast observations of shocked molecular material, rather than the more quiescent, radiatively heated gas surrounding stellar sources detected with the few vibrational excited neutral species observed to date.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Raman thermometry measurements of freely evaporating microdroplets to determine evaporation coefficients (γ) for two different hydrochloric acid solutions, both of which result in a significant deviation from γwater.

TL;DR: In this article, the transition between Rydberg states of neon and argon was measured by optogalvanic spectroscopy in commercial hollow cathode lamps using a color center laser operating in the range 3600-4100 cm -1.

TL;DR: In this article, aqueous carbonic acid (H2CO3) was detected and characterized by X-ray absorption spectroscopy, wherein protonation of a bicarbonate solution continuously generates the acid under ambient conditions.
