His research culminated in the first
observed emission spectrum of an extrasolar planet and revealed tantalizing evidence for the composition of the planet's atmosphere.
That means the emission probability for excited CO2 (and water vapor) is significantly greater than zero and explains
the observed emission spectra which show strong CO2 (and water vapor) emission spectral features rather than the continuum emission that would be expected if nitrogen emission dominated.

«Synchrotron radiation is the only
emission mechanism that can create the same degree of polarization and the same
spectrum we
observed early in the burst,» Troja said.
With such a relatively low mass for the central black hole, models for the
emission from the object can not explain the
observed spectrum.
The rest goes into pulses
observed elsewhere in the electromagnetic
spectrum and into cosmic rays, with perhaps some going into the
emission of gravitational energy, or gravity waves.
Submillimeter
spectra at the
emission peak
observed with ALMA.
If that is the case and if the continuum is coming in from all directions, then there is no net radiative power transfer going on and in fact, one would not
observe any absorption
spectra (or
emission spectra) at all.
Is there a good link (s) to publicly available literature (no charge preferrable) that shows the agreement between calculated and
observed atmospheric IR
emission spectra looking up or down or both, or at least some
observed spectra that can then be modeled at the Archer site?
Those nice Balmer
spectra and the like from Mercury vapor lamps or Sodium lamps and the like are
observed in VERY LOW DENSITY gases, where the mean time between molecular or atomic collisions is much longer than the lifetimes of the excited states, so that spontaneous
emission can occur; only then do you get the bright line
spectra as seen in those HOT gases.
