Quasi-line spectra of MgTBP (chi) and H2TBP are presented with a view toward laboratory simulation of the diffuse interstellar spectra. Experimental results are discussed which strongly suggest that molecule chi meets all the critical tests for spectral identification. The IR spectrum and visible data of molecule chi are discussed and analysed in terms of a simple vibronic self-consistent energy level diagram.
A new model is proposed based on studies of plasma instabilities in a magnetic field, which suggests that the inside region of a star is quantized into smaller regions, each of which is rotating in the magnetic field of a central rotating stellar core. Numerous applications of such a model are explored and some, such as the earth, evaluated in detail.
