Abstract

High-resolution computations of the shape and width of CO absorption lines in supersonic free jets are presented. The shape of the absorption line depends on the evolution of the density and temperature across the jet and on the rotational line considered; it can exhibit a large dip at the top. The width of the lines is larger than the Doppler width in bulk gas.
