Using the Short Wavelength Spectrometer on ISO, they have found large amounts of gas in the debris disks around the stars beta Pictoris, 49 Ceti, and HD135344 by directly observing the lowest transitions of H2. These mid-infrared wavelength lines from molecular hydrogen are quite weak, which simplifies their interpretation but makes them hard to see. ISO was the first cryogenic telescope equipped with spectrometers that could search for H2, and our data illustrate the powerful capabilities of high resolution infrared spectroscopy from space ... 2, record 9, English, - short%2Dwavelength%20spectrometer
