Varying pressures of acetylene and nitrogen were used to determine the N$_2$ pressure-dependent parameters for the P(11) line in the $\nu_1$ + $\nu_3$ combination band of acetylene at 195 739.649 513(8) GHz. The temperature dependence of the line shape was determined from measurements at several temperatures, varying from 296 K to 125 K. With the absolute frequency positions at each point on the frequency scale determined by the comb, each experimental data set has better than 10$^{-4}$ fractional error. Parameters describing the line shape, such as pressure-dependent broadening, narrowing and shift coefficients, can be obtained with standard deviations less that 0.1\%. The data have been used to test various line shape models beyond the standard Voigt approximation including those with narrowing parameters (Rautian and Galatry models) and those with speed-dependence (Speed-dependent Voigt and Speed-dependent Nelkin-Ghatak models). Fitting results will be presented and the relative performance of the models will be discussed. en_US dc.language.iso en en_US dc.publisher Ohio State University en_US dc.title FREQUENCY COMB-REFERENCED MEASUREMENTS OF SELF- AND NITROGEN-PERTURBED LINE SHAPE PARAMETERS IN THE $\nu_1$ + $\nu_3$ BAND OF ACETYLENE en_US dc.type Article en_US dc.type Image en_US dc.type Presentation en_US
