However, both of these spectra contain emission lines that can't yet be matched with known electron transitions, limiting the information which can be gathered from them. In a study published in ...

We present a synthetic rotation curve technique to analyze spatially resolved emission lines from faint galaxies. This algorithm takes into account important variables, such as intrinsic velocity ...

This causes line emission spectra to be produced, as shown below. This is not a continuous spectrum as only light of specific frequencies and specific colours are produced. Different types of ...

Key fact Line emission spectra are unique to a particular element. Different elements produce different line spectra. A line spectrum is like a fingerprint - it can be used to identify the element ...

A research team from the Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has recently published a study in The ...

Cosmic rays below 100 MeV are key to the origin of life and the evolution of stars, and they activate interstellar matter to emit spectral emission lines of X-rays and gamma rays specific to the ...
