The Q branch of the (0,0) band of the electric quadrupole [Formula: see text] transition in O2 has been observed at 1.908 μ in the emission spectrum of a discharge through O2 and He. By a comparison with the (0,0) atmospheric O2 band [Formula: see text], the absolute transition probability for the (b–a) system has been found to be 2.5 × 10−3 sec−1, with an uncertainty of a factor of 2. The (0,0) band of the infrared atmospheric [Formula: see text] system of O2 has also been observed in emission. Using the observed intensity of the (0,1) atmospheric O2 band in the aurora and airglow one may predict that the (0,0) (b–a) band should be detectable in a strong aurora if observations are made from high altitude.

The infrared spectrum of the airglow in the region 2 to 4 μm has been measured with a two-beam interferometer carried to high altitude by a balloon. The aV= 1 sequence of OH bands is in evidence as well as an emission band of CO 2 .

We obtain here a new relation for the reduced electric quadrupole transition probability B(E2)↑ of a given nucleus in terms of its derivatives with respect to neutron and proton numbers based on a similar local energy relation in the Infinite Nuclear Matter (INM) model of atomic nuclei, which is essentially built on the foundation of the Hugenholtz–Van Hove (HVH) theorem of many-body theory. Obviously, such a relation in the form of a differential equation is expected to be more powerful than the usual algebraic difference equations. Although the relation for B(E2)↑ has been perceived simply on the basis of a corresponding differential equation for the local energy in the INM model, its theoretical foundation otherwise has been clearly demonstrated. We further exploit the differential equation in using the very definitions of the derivatives to obtain two different recursion relations for B(E2)↑, connecting in each case three neighboring even–even nuclei from lower to higher mass numbers and vice versa. We demonstrate their numerical validity using available data throughout the nuclear chart and also explore their possible utility in predicting B(E2)↑ values.
