Formaldehyde Absorption Coefficients in the Vacuum Ultraviolet (650 to 1850 Angstroms)

Abstract
The absorption spectrum of formaldehyde has been measured photo-electrically from 650 to 1850 angstroms. A broad continuum observed at wavelengths shorter than 1570 angstroms will be the major spectral feature contributing to the formaldehyde lifetime in the interstellar radiation field.
