Plots are prepared as in Fig. 3, but the vertical scales are different. (a) The detected (see text) para‐H2O 111−000 ground‐state transition at 269.3 μm. (b) The undetected ortho‐H2O 110–101 ground‐state transition at 538.3 μm. (c) The ratio of the para‐H2O 111–000 to the continuum showing the fractional absorption (dimensionless scale). (d) The total IR emission (﹩\lambda > 105﹩ μm); the scale is μW m−2 sr−1. (e) The undetected O2 32–12 at 705.8 μm. (f) The detected O I 2p4:3P03P1 transition at 145.5 μm. (g) The undetected Si I 3p2:3P13P0 transition at 129.7 μm. (h) The detected CH transition at 115.8 μm.
