Appendix D International Astronomical Union Spectral Lines of Most Importance Above 300 GHz At each triennial meeting of the General Assembly, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) carefully reviews the list of astrophysically most important spectral lines that it maintains. The IAU expresses the need to protect these frequency bands from in-band, band-edge, and harmonic emissions, especially from spaceborne transmitters. In preparation for World Radiocommunication Conference 2000, which revised the allocations above 71 GHz, a millimeter-wavelength working group of the Scientific Committee on Frequency Allocations for Radio Astronomy and Space Science examined all then-known transitions in the millimeter and submillimeter wavebands. The working group selected a limited number of the astrophysically most important spectral lines to supplement the earlier lists, such as those produced by the IAU, to be used in allocating frequency bands to the Radio Astronomy Service. Spectral lines above 300 GHz are listed in Table D.1. (These data and further information can be found on the Web site of the European Science Foundation’s Committee on Radio Astronomy Frequencies at http://www.astron.nl/craf/iaulist.htm.)
