Notes

1Removal of a 1σ(1sO)19 electron; observed in X-ray photoelectron spectra
2Removal of a 2σ(1sN)19 electron; observed in X-ray photoelectron spectra
3Removal of a 3σ electron; observed in X-ray photoelectron spectra
4Long vibrational progression in the photoelectron spectrum at ~23 eV Edqvist, Lindholm, et al., 1970, Edqvist, Asbrink, et al., 1971; neither the vibrational numbering nor the assignment to B' 1Σ+ are certain. Lefebvre-Brion, 1971 suggests a mixed 1Π state resulting from configuration interaction between states arising from ...4σ5σ242π (like c 3Π) and ...4σ25σ1π32. See also Thulstrup and Ohrn, 1972, Thulstrup, Thulstrup, et al., 1974.
5Limit of the Narayana-Price Rydberg series. Single strong peak in the photoelectron spectrum at 21.72 eV Price, 1968, Samson, 1968, Edqvist, Lindholm, et al., 1970, Edqvist, Asbrink, et al., 1971. The high-energy wing is overlapped by weak unresolved structure (w ~ 400) tentatively attributed to the corresponding 1Π state by Edqvist, Asbrink, et al., 1971; see, however, 4. Predissociation into N+ + O Hertz, Jochims, et al., 1974.
6Limit of Tanaka's γ Rydberg series. Short progression in the photoelectron spectrum Turner and May, 1966, Price, 1968, Edqvist, Lindholm, et al., 1970, Edqvist, Asbrink, et al., 1971; see 11.
7Perturbations by b' 3Σ- Miescher, 1955, Field, 1973, Alberti and Douglas, 1975.
8Radiative lifetime τ(v=0)= 56 ns Hesser and Dressler, 1966, Hesser, 1968; f00 = 0.00025. Variation of transition moment with r Aarts and de Heer, 1971, Mentall and Morgan, 1972, Stone and Zipf, 1972.
9Franck-Condon factors Nicholls, 1968, Wentink and Spindler, 1970, Coxon, Clyne, et al., 1975.
10Long upper state progression in the photoelectron spectrum Edqvist, Lindholm, et al., 1970, Edqvist, Asbrink, et al., 1971; see 11.
11Franck-Condon factors for ionizing transitions from X 2Π Wacks, 1964, Halmann and Laulicht, 1965, Spohr and Puttkamer, 1967, Nicholls, 1968, Field, 1973, Coxon, Clyne, et al., 1975.
12Interpolated using data for CO and N2 Field, 1973.
13Adjusted to give agreement with B5 = 1.2512 Field, 1973 as obtained from a perturbation analysis Field, 1973.
14Fragments in emission from perturbed A 1Π ~ b' 3Σ- levels.
15Quadrupole moment of NO+ Qm= +0.79E-26 esu cm2 Jungen and Miescher, 1969; see also Jungen and Lefebvre-Brion, 1970, Billingsley and Krauss, 1974.
16Vibr.-rot. sp. 21
17D00(NO) + I.P.(O) - I.P.(NO).
18Average of two values obtained by electron impact mass spectrometry Dorman and Morrison, 1961 and double charge transfer spectroscopy Appell, Durup, et al., 1973. A similar value (30.8 eV) can be derived from Auger electron spectra Moddeman, Carlson, et al., 1971, but the assignments are highly tentative and can also be interpreted as indicating an ionization potential of only ~26 eV.
19The 1sN and 1s0 1Π - 3Π splittings are 1.41 and 0.53 eV, respectively Davis and Shirley, 1972, Davis, Martin, et al., 1973. The 1sN photoelectron peaks have an anomalous intensity ratio of 3.43 Bagus, Schrenk, et al., 1974; theoretical interpretation Hillier and Kendrick, 1975, Darko, Hillier, et al., 1977. Predicted 1sN satellite ("shake-up") peaks Hillier and Kendrick, 1975.
20Limit of Tanaka's β Rydberg series. Very short progression in the photoelectron spectrum Turner and May, 1966, Price, 1968, Edqvist, Lindholm, et al., 1970, Edqvist, Asbrink, et al., 1971; see 11.
21Observed in the IR spectrum of hot air resulting from a high altitude nuclear detonation; the 1-0 and 2-0 bands have been identified. Theoretical intensities Billingsley, 1973.
