High-resolution studies of the near-ultraviolet bands of oxygen: I: the system

Abstract

Ten new bands of the [Formula: see text] system of oxygen have been found using longer absorption paths than in the earlier work of Herzberg (1953). Rotational assignments and molecular constants are given for all bands from ν′ = 1–16. The principal constants for the [Formula: see text] state are as follows:[Formula: see text]
