ABSTRACT

Thaddeus and Turner 1975

Thaddeus, P., and B.E. Turner, 1975: Confirmation of interstellar N2H+. Astrophys. J., 201, L25-L26.

The identification of the new interstellar lines at 93.174 GHz as the molecular ion N2H+ has been confirmed by resolving in the source OMC-2 the predicted hyperfine structure of the inner nitrogen nucleus. The hyperfine constants of N2H+ derived from the observational data are eqQi(outer N) = -5.666±0.012 MHz, eqQ(inner N) = -1.426±0.021 MHz, and c(outer N) = 0.0147±0.0023 MHz. The rest center frequency of the J = 1-0 rotational transition is determined to be 93173.392±0.031 MHz.
