Notes

1Several rotational perturbations.
2Small Λ-type doubling; intensity perturbations.
3Data for Mg18O are given by Antic-Jovanovic, Pesic, et al., 1976.
4D1 = 1.30E-6; H0 = 0.48E-11.
5Franck-Condon factors Srivastava and Maheshwari, 1967, Gandara, Schamps, et al., 1970, Shadrin and Zhirnov, 1975.
6Very weakly bound or repulsive state; see Schamps and Lefebvre-Brion, 1972. Continuous absorption above 31250 cm-1 by shock-heated MgO in Ar/O2 mixtures.
7D1 = 1.29E-6.
8For 18O - 16O isotope shifts see Trajmar and Ewing, 1965.
9A ~ -25.
10The assignment of the bands to MgO is still uncertain. See also Schamps and Lefebvre-Brion, 1972.
11Vibrational isotope shifts for 24Mg18O and 26Mg16O Pesic, 1964.
12RKR potential functions Thakur and Singh, 1967.
13Franck-Condon factors Nicholls, 1962; oscillator strength Main, Carlson, et al., 1967, Main and Schadee, 1969.
14Observed in absorption in shock-heated Ar/O2 mixtures containing MgO Evans and Mackie, 1974. Franck-Condon factors Nicholls, 1962, Ortenberg, Glasko, et al., 1964, Prasad, 1965; oscillator strength Main, Carlson, et al., 1967, Main and Schadee, 1969; dependence of transition moment on r from measured intensities Dube, 1973.
15Small Λ-type doubling.
16A ~ -50; Te is the theoretical value of Schamps and Lefebvre-Brion, 1972. An experimental value of 3200 ± 1000 is given by Evans and Mackie, 1974.
17Theoretical ground state properties Yoshimine, 1968; more recent calculations of ground and excited states Schamps and Lefebvre-Brion, 1972.
18The dissociation energy (to Mg 1S + O 3P) is quite uncertain. The value given is the thermochemical value of Drowart, Exsteen, et al., 1964 as corrected Schamps and Lefebvre-Brion, 1972 for the presence of the low-lying a 3Π state. From flame photometry Cotton and Jenkins, 1969 obtain 4.16 eV assuming a 3Σ ground state, while Veits and Gurvich, 1956 also from flame photometry but assuming a 1Σ ground state obtain 4.34 eV.
