title: Formaldehyde absorption coefficients in the vacuum ultraviolet (650 to 1850 angstroms).
abstract: The absorption spectrum of formaldehyde has been measured photo-electrically from 650 to 1850 angstroms. A broad continuum observed at wavelengths shorter than 1570 angstroms will be the major spectral feature contributing to the formaldehyde lifetime in the interstellar radiation field.
