Notes

1Bands with v'=1 are diffuse on account of predissociation.
2Recalculated by Bartky, 1960 from data in Levin and Winans, 1951.
3missing note
4B0' - B0" redetermined from the differences between consecutive lines in the R and P branches measured by Levin and Winans, 1951.
5ΔG(1/2) = 363.32 Bartky, 1960 from band origins Bartky, 1960.
6missing note
7Calculated from 4Be3e2.
