| Description | The grant to carry out far-infrared spectral studies of astronomical sources from the G. P. Kuiper Airborne Observatory was first funded in October 1978 and officially ended on October 31, 1986. During these eight years, A variety of previously undetected spectral lines was discovered, and these were used to determine the physical and chemical conditions prevailing in regions of active star formation. They served to clarify the nature of the ionized hydrogen regions often adjacent to star-forming clouds, the characteristics of shocks which may signify the onset of star formation, and the nature of coolants that channel away energy thus enabling a cloud to collapse to form new stars. |
