Abstract: | This review consists essentially of three parts where we consider: (1) the structure and spectrum of the hydrogen molecule;
(2) the processes that in interstellar space can lead to the forma-tion and to the dissociation of the hydrogen molecule,
with the aim of establishing its abundance, both on the average and in particular regions of the Galaxy; (3) the lines originating
from interstellar molecular hydrogen that could be observed from the Earth. In this last Section the possible obser-vations
are classified from the point of view of the height in the atmosphere from which they have to be made. |
