An attempt has been made to measure the absorption cross sections of O2 in the metastable state a1Δg from 1087 to 1700 Å. The absorption is measurable (σa ≥ 3 × 10−19 cm2) from around 1500 Å towards shorter wavelengths. Many band structures overlaying various continua have been seen. Absorption cross sections of O2 in the ground state X3Σg− also have been measured in the same wavelength region and our results agree with previously published values within experimental error. The cross sections of O2(a1Δg) are generally larger than those of O2(X3Σg−) below 1290 Å except at the wavelengths of a few strong bands of O2(X3Σg−).

Abstract. We present the MPI-Mainz UV/VIS Spectral Atlas of Gaseous Molecules, which is a large collection of absorption cross sections and quantum yields in the ultraviolet and visible (UV/VIS) wavelength region for gaseous molecules and radicals primarily of atmospheric interest. The data files contain results of individual measurements, covering research of almost a whole century. To compare and visualize the data sets, multicoloured graphical representations have been created. The MPI-Mainz UV/VIS Spectral Atlas is available on the Internet at http://www.uv-vis-spectral-atlas-mainz.org. It now appears with improved browse and search options, based on new database software. In addition to the Web pages, which are continuously updated, a frozen version of the data is available under the doi:10.5281/zenodo.6951.

<sub></sub> In this paper we present our calculation of the cross section ionization by electron impact of C V, N VI and O VII. Using the Flexible Atomic Code (FAC), we obtain the cross sections for the ionization of these ions from the ground state 1<sup>1</sup>S, and from the unstable states 2<sup>1</sup>S and 2<sup>3</sup>S. Our results are in good agreement with those based on the Coulomb Born (CB) approximation and the available measurements.

Abstract. The formation of black carbon fractal aggregates (BCFAs) from combustion and subsequent aging involves several stages resulting in modifications of particle size, morphology, and composition over time. To understand and quantify how each of these modifications influences the BC radiative forcing, the radiative properties of BCFAs are modelled. Owing to the high computational time involved in numerical modelling, there are some gaps in terms of data coverage and knowledge regarding how radiative properties of coated BCFAs vary over the range of different factors (size, shape, and composition). This investigation bridged those gaps by following a state-of-the-art description scheme of BCFAs based on morphology, composition, and wavelength. The BCFAs radiative properties were investigated as a function of the radius of the primary particle (ao), fractal dimension (Df), fraction of organics (forganics), wavelength (λ), and mobility diameter (Dmob). The radiative properties are calculated using the multiple sphere T-matrix (MSTM) method. Amongst size, morphology, and composition, all the radiative properties showed the highest variability with changing size. The cross-sections varied from 0.0001 μm2 to 0.1 μm2 for BCFA Dmob ranging from 24 nm to 810 nm. After size or Dmob, the absorption cross-section (Cabs) and BC mass absorption cross-section (MACBC) showed the highest sensitivity towards composition or forganics, whereas the asymmetry parameter (g) showed higher dependence on morphology, which is represented by Df. The Ångstrom absorption exponent varied from 1.06 up to 3.6 and increases with the fraction of organics (forganics). The values of the absorption enhancement factor (Eλ) were found between 1.01 and 3.28 in the visible spectrum. The Eλ was derived from Mie calculations for coated volume equivalent spheres, and from MSTM for coated BCFAs. Mie calculated enhancement factors were found to be larger by a factor of 1.1 to 1.5 than their corresponding values calculated from the MSTM method. It is shown that radiative forcings are highly sensitive towards modifications in morphology and composition. The black carbon radiative forcing ΔFTOA (Wm−2) decreases up to 61 % as the BCFA becomes more compact in morphology. Whereas, there is a decrease of > 50 % in ΔFTOA as the organic content of the particle increase up to 90 %. Based on our results, which showed a significant effect of coating and morphology on the BC radiative properties, a parametrization scheme for radiative properties of BC fractal aggregates was developed, which is applicable for modelling, ambient, and laboratory-based BC studies. The parameterization scheme for the cross-sections (extinction, absorption, and scattering), single scattering albedo (SSA), and asymmetry parameter (g) of pure and coated BCFAs as a function of Dmob were derived from tabulated results of the MSTM method. Spanning over an extensive parameter space, the developed parametrization scheme showed promisingly high accuracy up to 98 % for the cross-sections, 97 % for single scattering albedos (SSA), and 82 % for asymmetry parameter (g).

Absorption cross-sections for oxygen in the region 2000 to 1750 Å, corresponding to the process O 2 X 3 Σ - g + hv → O 2 B 3 Σ - u have been measured. The oscillator strengths for the vibrational transitions have been calculated from these results. The total oscillator strength (including the continuum) is found to be 0·259. The cross-sections for intermolecular collisions causing deactivation of the upper state are found and analyzed. The (0-19) and (0-20) members of the system are observed, and the dissociation limit found to be 57140 ± 20 K .
