The analysis of high resolution Fourier spectra (2.5 × 10−3 cm−1) led to accurate molecular constants for the vibrational levels ν = 0, 1, 2 of the X2Π state of 14N16O and of the levels ν = 0, 1 of the X2Π state of 14N17O, 14N18O, and 15N16O. A computer program has been written to directly reduce the data. It is shown that the expected variations for the different parameters with isotope substitution are well verified. Values of AJ(e) and γe are determined and discussed.

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.

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.

A computer program is described which calculates the structure and the radiation field (including high resolution spectra) of spherically extended and moving atmospheres. Some preliminary results for models of WN stars (L/L0= 105, M/M0= 10, Teff= 30 000 K, and M=3 · 10−5 MOy−1) are presented and discussed.

The B′2Σ+ → X2Σ+ systems in MgH and MgD have been studied in emission at high resolution. Vibrational and rotational analyses, which have been performed for 37 bands of MgH and 16 bands of MgD, provide data on the following vibrational levels of the B′ state: MgH, ν = 0–9; MgD, ν = 0–2, 4–6. The following molecular constants (in cm−1) have been determined for the B′ state: MgH, Tc = 22 410, ωc = 828.4, ωcxc = 11.8, Bc = 2.585, Dc = 1.2 × 10−4; MgD, Tc = 22 415, ωc = 598.1, ωcxc = 6.4, Bc = 1.346, Dc = 2.6 × 10−5. The dissociation energy, Dc, in the B′ state is estimated to be 10 900 cm−1 (MgH), 11 200 cm−1 (MgD). The RKR potential energy curve for the B′ state has been calculated. A correlation of the rotational perturbations in the B′ → X system with the positions of rotational energy levels in the A2Π and B′2Σ+ states has been made. Observations for the low-lying states of MgH are compared with similar available data for related hydrides.

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 visible emission spectrum of MgD has been reexamined at high resolution. Published analyses of the A2Π → X2Σ+ system have been extended and the data have been combined with observations in the B′2Σ+ → X2Σ+ system to provide information on the ground state levels ν = 3, 4, 5, and 6 for the first time. The following molecular constants (in cm−1) have been determined—for the A2Π state: ωc = 1154.75, ωcxc = 16.675, Bc = 3.2190, Dc = 9.64 × 10−5 and for the X2Σ+ state: ωc = 1077.71, ωcxc = 15.92, Bc = 3.0306, and Dc = 9.39 × 10−5. The dissociation energies in the A2Π and X2Σ+ states have been estimated to be ~ 15 500 cm−1 and ~ 11 500 cm−1 respectively. The MgH/MgD isotope effect and the Λ doubling in the A2Π state are discussed.

A rotational analysis of the D–X and D′–X band systems of PO in the region 1900–2100 Å has been reinvestigated from an absorption spectrum taken at high resolution. A new ν = 1 vibrational level of the D2Π state of PO interacting with a new vibrational level of the D′2Π state has been studied in detail. Two other new vibrational levels, ν = 2 and 3, of D2Π have been recorded and studied in detail. A rigorous deperturbation of the D and D′ levels has been carried out. It has been shown that D′2Π and B′2Π are one and the same state of the PO molecule. A new band overlapped by the D′–X, 26–0 band has been attributed to the B2Σ+–X2Π transition.

The B and C band systems of Cu65Cl35 lying in the region 4600–5200 Å have been photographed in emission under high resolution. Rotational analysis of the (1,0), (0,0), and (0,1) bands of each system has been made. The analysis shows that the B and C systems involve transitions 1Π(B1Π)–X1Σ and 1Σ (C1Σ)–X1Σ respectively. Due to the influence of the closeby C1Σ state, the B1Π state shows appreciable Λ-type doubling. It is found that the B1Π and C1Σ states provide an instance closely resembling the case of Van Vleck's "pure precession". The principal molecular constants obtained for the initial states of the B and C systems of Cu65Cl35 are as follows (cm−1 units):[Formula: see text]

The D and E band systems of Cu65Cl35, lying in the region 3900–4700 Å, have been photographed in emission under high resolution and rotational analysis of the (3,1), (2,0), (1,0), (0,0), and (0,1) bands of the D system and the (4,1), (3,0), (2,0), (1,0), (0,0), and (0,1) bands of the E system has been made. It has been assumed in the analysis that the D and E systems involve transitions 1Π (D1Π)−X1Σ and 1Σ (E1Σ)−X1Σ respectively. Fairly large Λ-doubling is observed in the D1Π state. Certain features in the E(0,0) band, which are not well understood, have been pointed out. The principal molecular constants obtained for the initial states of the D and E systems of Cu65Cl35 are as follows (cm−1):[Formula: see text]

The vacuum ultraviolet absorption spectrum of CN is observed for the first time revealing a weak band system between 1490 and 1820 Å. Rotational and vibrational analysis shows the upper state to be the known E2Σ+ state. Four new vibrational levels are reported, resulting in the following molecular constants for the E state (cm−1):[Formula: see text]The strength of the absorption and its significance in astrophysics is discussed. The dissociation limits and the electron configurations of all known electronic states of CN are also discussed, and a tentative assignment of a previously unassigned 2Π state is proposed.
