Description:
The J = 0-1 transitions of six different isotopic forms of the HCO(+) molecular ion, which were investigated by Woods et al. (1975), are considered. The extension of this work into the shorter millimeter and submillimeter region is reported here, as is the measurement of these spectra through J = 4-5 for HCO(+) and J = 5-6 for DCO(+). It is noted that these measurements can be used to determine accurate rotational constants and rest frequencies for these astrophysically important species. Tables listing the observed rotational constants and spectral constants of HCO(+) and DCO(+) are included.
