The Orion Nebula is known to be one of the most prolific chemical factories in space, although the full extent of its chemistry and the pathways for molecule formation are not well understood. This extremely rich spectrum, obtained with the HIFI spectrometer in January 2010, covers the range 1.059 to 1.115 THz. Among the molecules that can be identified in this spectrum (marked on the cor- responding lines) are water, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, methanol, dimethyl ether, hydrogen cyanide, sulphur oxide, sulphur dioxide and their isotope ana- logues. It is expected that many new organic molecules will also be identified. Identification of the many spectral features visible in the Orion spectrum with transitions of particular molecular species requires sophisticated molecular spec- troscopy databases, which collect the results from many years of theoretical and laboratory spectroscopy work. HERSCHEL is an ESA space observatory with science instruments provided by European-led Principal Investigator consortia, with important participation from NASA. The high resolution spectrometer HIFI was designed and built by a nationally-funded consortium led by SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Re- search. The consortium includes institutes from France, Germany, USA, Canada, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and Taiwan.

FLANNERY School of Physics, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA 30332-0430, USA E-mail: r.fl[email protected] www.physics.gatech.edu/people/faculty/rflannery.html Various landmarks in the evolution of Alexander Dalgarno from a gifted math- ematician to becoming the acknowledged Father of Molecular Astrophysics are noted. His researches in basic atomic and molecular physics, aeronomy (the study of the upper atmosphere) and astrophysics are highlighted. Keywords: atomic and molecular physics, aeronomy, astrophysics, Dalgarno- Lewis method, associative detachment, rotational excitation. 1. Some Distinct Landmarks As this “Dalgarno Celebratory Symposium” in honor of Alex Dalgarno’s 80th birthday continues, I would like to welcome you all to this morning’s session “Calculation of Atomic and Molecular Properties ”. This title is par- ticularly well suited to Alex’s philosophy because, in a recent reminiscence1 of his career, he mentions that, “ ... It is often said, by theorists, that physics is embodied in its equations, but I think it is to be found in the solutions to the equations”. And so, emboldened/accelerated by this realization, Alex embarked on making landmark advances in all of the following subjects: (1) Atomic and Molecular Structure (perturbation variational and expan- sion methods) (2) Interactions (polarization, dispersion, model, pseudo and long-range potentials) and (3) Collisions (near-resonant electronic transfer, excitation and charge transfer radiative transitions, rotational and vibrational excitation in molecules, spin-exchange).

Menzel and his school have made distinguished contributions to the theory of atom- ic physics, solar physics, and gaseous nebulae. The work on planetary nebulae represented the first investi gations of non-equilibrium thermodynamic conditions in astronomy; the solar work extended these investigations to stellar atmospheres. The applied atomic physics laid the basis for what we now call laboratory astro- physics and, together with work on non-equilibrium ther modynamics, inspired the founding of the Joint Insti- tute for Laboratory Astrophysics.

  • Alexander Dalgarno Was Spread Upon the Permanent Records of the Faculty
    At a meeting of the FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES on November 1, 2016, the following tribute to the life and service of the late Alexander Dalgarno was spread upon the permanent records of the Faculty. ALEXANDER DALGARNO BORN: January 5, 1928 DIED: April 9, 2015 Alex Dalgarno was a truly exceptional person and scientist. World renowned, he was widely considered the father of theoretical atomic and molecular astrophysics, a field that continues to thrive. Born in London, a fraternal twin, the last of five children of his parents, Alex described his childhood as happy and contented. He especially enjoyed playing soccer. At the end of his secondary schooling, he was invited to try out for the Tottenham Hotspur Football Club in London. This event morphed into the local legend that he then faced a critical decision about whether to pursue a career as a mathematician or professional footballer. He made the right choice and proceeded to gain a bachelor’s degree in mathematics at University College London, capitalizing on his exceptional mathematical skills and prodigious memory. When Alex was about to graduate, a chance encounter in 1947 with Sir Harrie Massey, future chair of the Physics Department there, persuaded Alex to switch to theoretical physics for his graduate work. He seized upon this opportunity to use mathematics to interpret experimental data and thereby to solve interesting physics problems. Alex completed his doctorate in 1951 and was offered his first professional appointment in Belfast by David, later to become Sir David, Bates. At about the same time, rocket flights were making direct observations of the physics and chemistry of the upper atmosphere.
