The key species without dipole moment have not been detected yet! Radio observations ・~100 species have been detected ・High spectral sensitivity and resolution Infrared observations ・Only ~30 species have been detected ・Molecules without dipole moment ・Precise analysis (T, N, VLSR・・・) with rovibrational spectra ・Low spectral sensitivity and resolution Molecules detected by IR observations H2O, CO, HF, SiO, OH, H2, C2H2, CS, CH4, NH3, HCN, C2H4, CH, NH, HCl, SiH4, C2H, C3, C5, CN, OCS, SiS, H3+, SH, CO2, SO2, CH3, HC3N, HC5N, C4H2, C6H2, C6H6, CH3C2H, CH3C4H (Nonpolar species) e.g. CH3+,c-C3H3+ Detectable only thru IR observation !! The chemistry of dense cloud ・Low sensitivity (S/N = 20, 143 min.) : Observable a few objects CH3+ c-C3H3+ ・Dominant noise source is black body radiation in mid-Infrared region →FTS (Fourier-transform spectrometer) is no longer effective A key species, H3+,has been detected using infrared high resolution spectroscopy (T.R.Geballe& T.Oka,1996) (Boyle et al., 1994) • High sensitive and resolution grating spectrometer is needed • IR observation needed for detailed analysis IRHS (mid-InfraRed High dispersion Spectrograph) ; R = 40,000 @ 10 mm IRHS (Mid-InfraRed High dispersion Spectrograph ) ・A cryogenic cross-dispersed echelle spectrometer using Ge immersion grating ・A high spectral resolution in N-Band (7.5~13.5 mm) : The resolving power R = 40,000 ・A broad band width : ~1 mm per a rotational angle of cross-disperser ・A High sensitivity : 1Jy = 10-26 W m-2 Hz-1 (exp. time ~100 sec., S/N =10) ・For IR Nasmyth focus of NAOJ SUBARU 8.2 m telescope Optics of IRHS Germanium Immersion Grating The optics consists of two sections: the fore-optics and the spectrometer optics. The fore-optics designed for IR Nasmyth focus of NAOJ,SUBARU (F/12.5) images the telescope focal plane with magnifying power of 1.6 onto a slit mirror. The image reflected by the slit mirror goes into slit viewer, which images the objects onto InSb detector array. The spectrometer optics contains the Ge immersion echelle grating, the cross disperser, their collimator mirrors, the camera lenses and the Si:As IBC (Impurity Band Conductor) detector array. To reduce thermal radiation of the instrument, all optics of IRHS is arranged on the cold optical base plate (~30 K) of the cryostat with the diameter of 80 cm. ・ Directly grooved onto high refractive index material (Refractive index ‘n’ of Germanium : 4 @ 7-14 mm) ・ Increases the resolving power by n-times ・Reduces the size and the weight for the instrument R=DL/l Spectrometer optics Fore-optics Echelle format The Ge immersion grating has been fabricated by “ RIKEN” using ELID (ELectrolytic In process Dressing) micro-machining method. Focal Plane Array Detector 8 cross disperser rotational positions provide full coverage of 7.5-13.5 mm IRHS has been employed two focal plane array detector. One of InSb with 256*256 pixels for slit viewer optics, and the other is Si:As IBC with 412*512 pixels for spectrometer optics manufactured by Raytheon Co.
