Abstract :
Summary form only given. Due to significant increase of the accuracy of measured laboratory frequencies of interstellar molecular lines and their hyperfine splitting [1-3], tremendous increase of receivers sensitivity and frequency resolution of digital spectrometers, modern radioastronomical observations allow us to measure turbulence and systematic velocity gradients in star forming regions with precision about 1 m/s. The reported results show a search for and detailed multiline studies of collapsing cores in several dozens of dark clouds performed with MPIfR-lOOm, NRO45m, IRAM-30m, OSO-20m, SETS-15m and CSO-10.4m telescopes. It is shown that by using developed by us codes for MEM deconvolution [4] we increase significantly effective spatial resolution. Due to high spatial and frequency resolution differential cloud rotation and strong molecular depletion in central parts of the objects was revealed in a set of star forming regions. From comparison of precise laboratory and interstellar line frequencies a strong upper limit is obtained on variations of the electron to proton mass ratio [5]. It is shown how the detailed analysis of spectra, obtained at very high accuracy, makes it possible to draw the far reaching conclusions relative to the physical properties of our Universe.
