The Arcetri Spectral Code (Landi and Landini 2002) allows to evaluate the spectrum of continuum and line radiation emitted by hot and optically thin plasmas in the spectral range 1-2000 Angstrom. The Code is composed by a large database of atomic data and transition probabilities for calculating spectral line emissivities and a suite of fortran programs able to evaluate free-free, free-bound and two-photon continuum radiation. ...

... On the basis of the previous (mostly intervening) H2 and OH detections, the limits reached here and in some previous surveys should be deep enough to detect molecular absorption according to their V - K colours. However, our survey makes the assumption that the reddening is associated with dust close to the emission redshift of the quasar and that the narrow millimetre component of this emission is intercepted by the compact molecular cores. ...

... This paper describes the main algorithms used by the Einstein Level One processing to create the exposure masks and the background maps for Einstein IPC images, and how these algorithms were recreated in the IRAF environment. Our goal was to recreate the algorithms used by the Level One Processing to create exposure masks and background maps for Einstein Image Proportional Counter (IPC) data (cf. sections 2.5 and 2.7 of Harnden et al. ...
