Further results are presented concerning the three known systems of the molecule LuO; i.e., A2Π, B2Π, C2Σ+ → X2Σ+. The observed wavenumbers in each of the 12 analyzed bands are reduced using an iterative, least squares fitting procedure. Rotational constants are given for vibrational levels ν = 0 and 1 in the C state and up to ν = 7 in the X and B states. The 1–1 band of the A → X system is partly analyzed. These new calculations confirm level B to be the 3/2 component of a 2Π state; but they give no such confirmation for the identification of the A level, whose 2Π nature is well established, as the 1/2 component of the same state.Moreover, a unique band at 5120 Å that cannot be classified into any of the three known systems is described and attributed to a new system of LuO. A partial rotational analysis is made showing that the band corresponds to a transition involving the level ν = 0 in the ground state. The nature of the upper state is discussed.

The fine structures of three of the β bands of PO which occur near 3200 Å have been analyzed. The analysis shows that the upper state of this band system is a 2Σ and not a 2Π state as previously believed. The rotational constants of both electronic states have been determined and it is found that the ground state constants, previously determined from the γ bands, are incorrect.

The strongly perturbed 1Π–X1Σ+ system of C80Se has been observed in the emission spectrum of a high frequency discharge through selenium and carbon traces in a neon atmosphere. The analysis of five bands yields, for the molecular constants of the ground state, the values Be″ = 0.5750 cm−1, [Formula: see text], αe″ = 0.00379 cm−1, re″ = 1.676 Å, ΔG″(1/2) = 1025.64 cm−1, and ΔG″(3/2) = 1015.92 cm−1. The numerous perturbations in the 1Π state prohibit the simple evaluation of the constants of the perturbed state and of the perturbing ones.

The 0–0, 1–1, and 2–2 bands of the A2Π ← X2Σ system of TiN have been recorded using the technique of laser-excitation spectroscopy. Molecular constants have been obtained from direct least squares fits of the measured line positions of individual bands. The fitted constants confirm and extend previous determinations; for the A2Π state, some of the constants show unusually large variations with ν, in accord with the already known perturbation of this state in the ν = 0 level.

A new system belonging to the emission spectrum of PtO has been found in the region of 3800–4500 Å. This system has the earlier known X1Σ ground state as the lower state and a hitherto unknown 1Σ state, here designated the D1Σ state, as the upper state. The four lowest vibrational levels of the D1Σ state were rotationally analyzed. Of these levels, the [Formula: see text] level seems to be unperturbed although the v′ = 1, 2, and 3 levels are strongly perturbed.

In a discharge through helium, to which a small trace of benzene vapour is added, a new band system of the type 1Π – 1Σ is found which is shown to be due to the CH+ molecule. The R(0) lines of the 0–0, 1–0, and 2–0 bands of the new system agree exactly with the hitherto unidentified interstellar lines 4232.58, 3957.72, 3745.33 Å, thus proving that CH+ is present in interstellar space. At the same time this observation of the band system in absorption shows that the lower state 1Σ is the ground state of the CH+ molecule. The new bands are closely analogous to the 1II – 1Σ+ BH bands. The analysis of the bands leads to the following vibrational and rotational constants of CH+ in its ground state: [Formula: see text], Be″ = 14.1767, αe″ = 0.4898 cm.−1. The internuclear distance is re″ = 1.1310∙10−8 cm. (for further molecular constants see Table V). From the vibrational levels of the upper 1Π state the heat of dissociation of CH+ can be obtained within fairly narrow limits: D0(CH+) = 3.61 ± 0.22 e.v. From this value the ionization potential of CH is derived to be I(CH) = 11.13 ± 0.22 e.v. The bearing of this value on recent work on ionization and dissociation of polyatomic molecules by electron impacts is briefly discussed.

The absorption spectrum of F2 in the 780–1020 Å range has been photographed at sufficient resolution to allow a rotational analysis of many bands. A large number of vibrational levels of three ionic states have been observed and their rotational constants determined. Many perturbations in the rotational structure caused by the interaction between the three states have been investigated and the interaction energies determined. The rotational and vibrational structures of a few Rydberg states have also been analyzed in detail but no Rydberg series have been identified. The difficulties in assigning the observed states are discussed. A 1Σu+ – X1Σg+ emission band system has been observed in the 1100 Å region. An analysis of the bands of this system has allowed us to determine the term values and rotational constants of all the vibrational levels of the ground state with ν ≤ 22. The dissociation energy, D0(F2), is found to be greater than 12 830 and is estimated to be 12 920 ± 50 cm−1.

AbstractIt is shown that for the eclipsing variable stars MP Mus and SV Cen a least squares fitting procedure is more accurate when a linear (intensity) rather than a logarithmic (magnitude) scale is used.

Many bands of the [Formula: see text] electronic emission spectrum of H2O+, occurring in the wavelength region 4000–7500 Å, have been analyzed. These include bands that have been observed in the tails of comets. The wavelengths and wave numbers of all assigned lines are tabulated. Accurate rotational constants for the first three bending vibrational levels of the ground state are given, as well as energy levels in the upper and lower electronic states. The O—H bond distance and the H—O—H angle in the [Formula: see text] (0, 0, 0) level are found to be 0.9988 Å and 110.46° respectively. Some predicted microwave and infrared lines that may be of astrophysical interest are included.
