| 2 | Predissociation above v = 4 Miescher, 1935. |
| 3 | The rotational constants refer to the normal 79,81Br isotopic mixture. |
| 4 | Radiative lifetime τ(v=0,1)= 26 ns Lutz and Hesser, 1968, corresponding to an absorption value of f00= 0.10. |
| 5 | From the predissociation in A 1Π; see Barrow, 1960. |
