The discrepancies concerning the optical and microwave values of B0 and D0 for the X 3 Σ g − state of O2 have been removed by a nonlinear least-squares fit to all of the lines of the O2, b 1 Σ g + -X 3 Σ g − Red Atmospheric bands recorded by Babcock and Herzberg (Astrophys. J., 108, 167, 1948). The resulting values for B0″ and D0″ are in excellent agreement with the Raman and microwave values. Improved values are determined for B1″, D1″, γ1″ (spin-rotation), and ϵ1″ (spin-spin). Both γv″ and ϵv″ increase in magnitude from v″ = 0 to v″ = 1. Improved Dunham Yi0 and Yi1 expansion coefficients are determined for the b 1 Σ g + state, from which the Rydberg-Klein-Rees potential is constructed. |
