17. The explicit statement made in Ref. 16 is as follows: "By general property of a Fourier transform, the behavior of J(ω) in the neighborhood of ω=0 is governed by the asymptotic behavior of C(t) for large t, and that for large ω by that of C(t)for small t. Accordingly, the shape of the spectrum at the center to a Lorentzian form which corresponds to the long-time approximation. However the wings are close to a Gaussian form, corresponding to the short-time approximation."

30. These numerical results were obtained relatively early in our study, and are based on simulations with reaction field boundary conditions which, as seen in Fig. 2, give reliable results only at a relatively narrow frequency range.
31. This property of the Stockmayer model understandably deviates from the behavior of many "real" liquids with similar partial atomic charges, where librational modes appear at higher frequencies.

38. The dominant relaxation in pure Ar/CO samples is via the radiative channel - IR fluorescence by the vibrationally excited CO (Ref. 39), and the upper bound is estimated (Ref. 13) in correspondence with this observation.
