  2. Pickering series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickering_series

    [4] [5] Fowler managed to produce similar lines from a hydrogen–helium mixture in 1912, and supported Pickering's conclusion as to their origin. [6] Niels Bohr , however, included an analysis of the series in his 'trilogy' [ 7 ] [ 8 ] on atomic structure [ 9 ] and concluded that Pickering and Fowler were wrong and that the spectral lines ...

  3. Sharp series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharp_series

    Arno Bergmann found a fourth series in infrared in 1907, and this became known as Bergmann Series or fundamental series. [14] In 1896 Edward C. Pickering found a new series of lines in the spectrum of ζ Puppis. This was believed to be the sharp series of hydrogen. In 1915 proof was given that it was actually ionised helium - helium II. [15] [16]

  4. Spectral line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_line

    Absorption lines for air, under indirect illumination, so that the gas is not directly between source and detector. Here, Fraunhofer lines in sunlight and Rayleigh scattering of this sunlight is the "source." This is the spectrum of a blue sky somewhat close to the horizon, looking east with the sun to the west at around 3–4 pm on a clear day.

  5. Balmer series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balmer_series

    The "visible" hydrogen emission spectrum lines in the Balmer series. H-alpha is the red line at the right. Four lines (counting from the right) are formally in the visible range. Lines five and six can be seen with the naked eye, but are considered to be ultraviolet as they have wavelengths less than 400 nm.

  6. Fraunhofer lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraunhofer_lines

    The Fraunhofer lines are typical spectral absorption lines. Absorption lines are narrow regions of decreased intensity in a spectrum, which are the result of photons being absorbed as light passes from the source to the detector. In the Sun, Fraunhofer lines are a result of gas in the Sun's atmosphere and outer photosphere. These regions have ...

  7. Lyman-alpha forest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyman-alpha_forest

    The Lyman-alpha forest was first discovered in 1970 by astronomer Roger Lynds in an observation of the quasar 4C 05.34. [1] Quasar 4C 05.34 was the farthest object observed to that date, and Lynds noted an unusually large number of absorption lines in its spectrum and suggested that most of the absorption lines were all due to the same Lyman-alpha transition. [2]

  9. Cosmic microwave background - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_microwave_background

    The power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background radiation temperature anisotropy in terms of the angular scale (or multipole moment). The data shown comes from the WMAP (2006), Acbar (2004) Boomerang (2005), CBI (2004), and VSA (2004) instruments. Also shown is a theoretical model (solid line).
