Is “dark water” really dark?

  • Published:
Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

We consider features of experimental studies performed by microwave spectroscopy methods and showing the collisional pressure broadening of molecular lines by hydrogen at very low temperatures. It is shown that the effect of preferential adsorption of orthohydrogen by the walls of the gas cell of a spectrometer can influence significantly the measurement results and lead to an erroneous interpretation of the data given by astrophysical studies of the interstellar space.
