A band spectrum attributed to carbon monosulphide

Abstract

The experiments described in the present paper were made in connection with the investigation of sulphur spectra developed by the nitrogen afterglow, in continuation of previous observations by Profs. Strutt and Fowler. A result of considerable interest is the detection of a series of ultra-violet bands which appear to be characteristic of a compound of sulphur and carbon. This band system extends from λ 2436-2837 approximately. It is, however, quite distinct from that developed, in the same region, by carbon disulphide in the afterglow, which is described in the paper to which the reference is given. Further photographs were taken, and it was found that the two sets of bands had nothing whatever in common.
