Fourier transform spectroscopic measurements of the absorption bands of the Herzberg I system [Formula: see text] of O2, have been made in the wavelength region 240–270 nm. Rotational line positions are determined with an accuracy of 0.005 cm−1, and rotational term values are presented for the vibrational levels, ν = 4–11. Molecular constants of these levels are also presented. Interactions with the [Formula: see text] state are observed at J = 13 of the ν = 4 level, at J = 16 of the ν = 7 level, and at J = 15 and 24 of the ν = 9 level of the [Formula: see text] state. Another interaction around J = 10 of the ν = 11 level might result from the weakly bound 3Πu state.

A collection of 10 866 of the most precise ground-state (X1Σ+) vibration–rotational and pure rotational line positions of four carbon monoxide isptopomers (12C16O, 12C18O, 13C16O, and 13C18O) is employed simultaneously in a direct determination of the radial Hamiltonian operator in compact analytical form. The 22-parameter isotopically self-consistent operator takes full account of the Born–Oppenheimer breakdown and its quantum-mechanical eigenvalues represent all the available spectroscopic line positions of CO isotopomers to within the experimental uncertainties. Rayleigh–Schrödinger perturbation theory is employed to calculate quantum-mechanical molecular constants of rotation (Bν – Mν) for nine common isotopomeric forms of CO. Together with the quantum-mechanical vibrational eigenvalues these are fully consistent with the exact eigenvalues obtained by direct solution of the radial wave equation. The set of constants is expected to provide an accurate prediction of line positions of CO isotopomers that have not yet been experimentally observed.


A detailed rotational analysis has been made of 114 absorption bands of the main systems of 128 Te 2 and 130 Te 2 in the wavelength region 385.5 to 523.5 nm (3855 to 5235 Å). In addition eight emission bands of 128 Te 2 between 617 and 634 nm (6170 and 6340 Å) have been analysed. Only one lower state, the 0 g + component of 3 ∑ g – , has been recognized, but the bands involve two upper states, B 0 u + , which has been known for many years, and a new lower lying state of the same character, A 0 u + . The vibrational numbering in both transitions has been established. The levels in B 0 u + are subject to numerous small perturbations and to a large homogeneous perturbation for v ≽ 20. The vibrational levels in A 0 u + extrapolate smoothly to a limit at about 25920 cm -1 above v " = 0. If the products at this limit are Te( 3 P 2 ) + Te( 3 P 0 ), D 0 0 = 21210 cm -1 (2.63 eV). Other constants (cm -1 , for 130 Te 2 ) are as follows: state T e ω e x e ω e 10 3 y e ω e 10 2 B e 10 4 α e r e /nm r e /Å B 0 u + 22207.4 162.3 0.45 –11.09 3.254 1.25 0.2824 2.824 A 0 u + 19450.8 143.6 0.45 –3.892 3.124 1.30 0.2882 2.882 X 0 g + 0 247.07 0.515 –0.55 3.968 1.06 0.25774 2.5774


The vibrational absorption bands of carbonyl sulphide 12 C 16 O 33 S near 5 μ have been examined using very high resolving power. Rotational fine structure has been resolved for the first time; six bands have been studied, including two associated with the isotopic species 13 C 16 O 33 S, and a rotational analysis of each has been carried out. Values have been derived for the rotational constants B and D in the different vibrational levels, and these have been compared with the results obtained from the microwave spectrum for the lower states. It has been found that the location of certain bands, and the rotational constants B are affected by Fermi resonance and Coriolis interaction, and estimates of the unperturbed values have been made.

Laser-excited fluorescence spectra of 128Te2 were studied by high-resolution Fourier transform spectroscopy, the sources of excitation used were Ar+ and Kr+ laser lines at 5145, 4880, 4579, and 4131 Å. (1 Å = 10−10 m). Transitions involving three upper states, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] and three lower states [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] have been identified. The molecular constants of the lower states were determined with high precision. These constants were used to obtain the Rydberg–Klein–Rees potential curves of the states for vibrational levels ν up to 42. Limited results were also obtained for the upper states [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]

The laser-induced fluorescence of the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] transitions of Na2 are analysed, using high resolution Fourier transform spectroscopy. Fixed-frequency ion-laser lines (4880 and 4765 Å (1 Å = 10−10 m) from Ar+ and 6471 and 4762 Å from Kr+) together with laser frequencies from a ring dye laser, using rhodamine 6 G with λ = 5781.22 and 5796.80 Å, were used to excite Na dimer in the gas phase. Twenty-eight series of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] systems have been assigned and analysed, and the strong transitions are accompanied by numerous rotational relaxation lines. Molecular constants of the [Formula: see text] state were calculated with high precision from simultaneous least-squares fits to 1410 lines assigned to the A–X and B–X systems. These constants have been used to determine the Rydberg–Klein–Rees potential curve of the X ground state for vibrational levels up to ν = 62.

Simultaneous VLBI observations of the SiO masers of the J = 1 → 0 rotational line in the v = 1 and v = 2 vibrational levels toward Mira variables are presented. Because SiO maser lines are formed deep in circumstellar envelopes they serve as a unique tool to study the innermost envelopes of evolved stars. Although the first interpretation of SiO maser emission was made in 1974, observational features are only partially explained by models which have been suggested since then. Positional coincidence of the J = 1 → 0 masers of v = 1 and v = 2 has been argued as a way to distinguish among the maser pumping models, but it requires simultaneous observations of the two lines using high resolution. We have developed the technique for such observations during the last few years and here we report successful results of our simultaneous observations of the SiO v = 1 and v = 2 J = 1 → 0 masers using the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA). We discuss the pumping mechanism in terms of our observational results.

The absorption spectrum of NO2 cooled to −30 °C has been photographed at high dispersion in the wavelength region 8200–9100 Å. Comparison with the room temperature spectrum shows that weak absorption from the ground state of the molecule underlies slightly stronger 'hot' band absorption at 8920 Å. Franck–Condon calculations based on the relative intensities of absorption bands from the 000 and 010 vibrational levels of the molecule indicate that the 000–000 band of the [Formula: see text] electronic transition lies near 10250 Å (1.21 eV) with a possible uncertainty of one quantum of ν2′ (0.09 eV). This result is in good agreement with the multiconfiguration SCF calculations of Gillispie and Khan (which are at variance with previous experimental deductions on the location of the 000–000 band).Some new assignments have been made in the rotational structure of the 8360 Å band.

Coronal images were taken in the light of the He I 10830 Å line, the 10000 Å continuum, and the Fe XIV 5303 Å line, with the aim of studying the thermal structure of the corona. In addition, spectroscopic observations were made in the violet wavelength region (3760-4060 Å) and near-infrared (10745-10835 Å), to obtain details of physical conditions of the corona, especially of its cool part. The data obtained do not show any distinct cool structures other than ordinary prominences. Some preliminary results concerning the corona and prominence structures are given.


Nine vibrational absorption bands of dideutero-acetylene have been examined with very high resolving power. The rotational constants have been determined for the vibrational levels concerned, and the coefficients α i have been determined with more convincing accuracy than previously. In some of the bands the Q branches have been resolved, so that the l -doubling coefficients q i could be derived, and details could be established about the doublet components in some II levels. The results emphasize the need of high resolution if the vibrational assignments are to be unambiguous, and if reliable values of the rotational constants are to be derived. A value of B e has been obtained, and the vibrational anharmonicity coefficients have been considered briefly. Estimates of the centrifugal stretching constants D i in different vibrational states have been made, and one anomalous case has been found.
