Notes

1Spin splitting constants γ0 ...γ3 = +1.09...+0.67 Michel, 1957, Carlone and Dalby, 1969.
2RKR potential functions Fallon, Tobias, et al., 1961, Horsley and Richards, 1969.
3Lifetime of the upper state of the C→A system ~ 6 ns; measurements in the 1700-1900 region give τ ~2 ns which, in spite of the poor agreement, is not inconsistent with the assignment of at least part of these bands to C→X Smith and Stella, 1975. Much longer lifetimes (~ 80 ns) have been reported by Remy, 1971.
4Franck-Condon factors Felenbok, 1963.
5Strong many-line spectrum 1900-1700 Å, tentative identification.
6Spin splitting constant γ0 = -0.293.
7Theoretical oscillator strength f00 = 0.0036 Ray and Kelly, 1975.
8Energy of N'=0 relative to the zero-point of the Hill-Van Vleck expression for the ground state.
9Using isotope relations Barrow, 1956 estimates ωe = 940, ωexe = 105, ωeye = -21.5.
10Spin splitting constant γ<0.03 Carlone and Dalby, 1969. Predissociation by rotation in v=0 above N=15, in v=1 above N=9; dissociation products 1S + 2S Felenbok, 1963, Carlone and Dalby, 1969.
11B1 = 4.119. Constants for the B state are from Carlone and Dalby, 1969.
12D1 ~ 29.1E-4, H1= -15E-5.
13-1.7915(v+1/2)3 + 0.32362(v+1/2)4 - 0.03585(v+1/2)5 Barrow, 1956. Energy levels and improved ΔG(v+1/2) values are listed in Carlone and Dalby, 1969.
14Spin splitting constants γ0 ... γ3 = 0.201, 0.196, 0.192, 0.193 Moore and Richards, 1971; see also Dieke and Crosswhite, 1948.
15Predissociation in v=0 above N=23, in v=1 above N=14, and of all levels in v=2; from the lifetime measurements of Elmergreen and Smith, 1972, Anderson and Sutherland, 1973, German, 1975. A sharp decrease in the intensity of emission lines originating from the predissociated levels has been observed at or slightly above threshold in low pressure flames and discharges Gaydon and Wolfhard, 1951, Broida and Kane, 1953, Naegeli and Palmer, 1967; Charton and Gaydon, 1958 report corresponding intensity increases due to inverse predissociation in hydrogen flames; see also Gutman, Lutz, et al., 1968. The predissociation is noticeably stronger for the F1 than for the F2 levels; according to Palmer and Naegeli, 1968, Michels and Harris, 1969, Gaydon and Kopp, 1971, Anderson and Sutherland, 1973, Palmer and Naegeli, 1973, Smith, Elmergreen, et al., 1974, German, 1975 it is caused by the 4Σ- state arising from 3P + 2S, but the possibility of predissociation by the 2Π ground state has also been considered Durmaz and Murrell, 1971, Julienne, Krauss, et al., 1971. A much stronger predissociation of A 2Σ+ leading to diffuseness in the B→A bands has been observed Michel, 1957, Czarny and Felenbok, 1968, Carlone and Dalby, 1969 for v=5, 6, 7 at all N levels and for v=8 above N=6; according to Czarny, Felenbok, et al., 1971 it is produced by the 4Π state arising from 3P + 2S.
16μel(v=0) = 1.98 D from high-field Stark effects on the A→X transition Scarl and Dalby, 1971.
17The equilibrium constants were derived by Barrow, 1956 to fit Bv from v=0 to 4. Improved Bv values (v=0.. .3) have been obtained by Moore and Richards, 1971 from the data of Dieke and Crosswhite, 1948; additional Bv values for v≤9 are listed in Barrow, 1956, Michel, 1957, Felenbok, 1963, Carlone and Dalby, 1969. For term values (v=0...3) see Moore and Richards, 1971.
18Other Dv values in Moore and Richards, 1971 and Barrow, 1956, Michel, 1957, Felenbok, 1963, Carlone and Dalby, 1969; H0 = 8.71E-8 Moore and Richards, 1971.
19Radiative lifetimes τ(v=0,N=1) = 693 ± 10 ns, τ(v=l,N=1) = 736 ± 11 ns German, 1975. The increase from v=0 to v=1 and a similar variation with increasing rotation in v=0 [ German, 1975, see also Elmergreen and Smith, 1972, Anderson and Sutherland, 1973] are explained by the dependence on r of the transition moment [see German, 1975 and references given there]. Hogan and Davis, 1974 using a method very similar to German, 1975 obtain 720 765 ns for the average lifetimes of several low-lying rotational levels in v=0 and 1, respectively. Earlier apparently less accurate determinations Elmergreen and Smith, 1972, Becker and Haaks, 1973, Anderson and Sutherland, 1973, Becker, Haaks, et al., 1974, Brophy, Silver, et al., 1974 gave somewhat higher τ values [see also Bennett and Dalby, 1964]; Hanle effect measurements de Zafra, Marshall, et al., 1971, German, Bergeman, et al., 1973 are slightly lower. The decay time of the predissociated v=2 level (see 15) is 203 ± 13 ns for N=0 and decreases rapidly at higher N German, 1975; estimated non- radiative lifetime for N=1 ~ 270 ns. High-resolution line absorption measurements by Rouse and Engleman, 1973 [see also Golden, Del Greco, et al., 1963] give f00 = 0.00095 for the rotationless molecule in reasonable agreement with lifetime measurements but in sharp contrast to f00 = 0.00148 obtained by Anketell and Pery-Thorne, 1967 using the hook method; f10 values are, respectively, 0.00024 and 0.00089.
20Observed in emission in all kinds of electric discharges (often as an impurity), in flames Krishnamachari and Broida, 1961 and in the heads of comets; in absorption in H2O vapour at high temperature Bonhoeffer and Reichardt, 1928 and in electric discharges Oldenberg, 1935, in flames Gaydon, Spokes, et al., 1960, in the flash photolysis of H2O, O3 + H2O, and other mixtures Basco and Norrish, 1961, Black and Porter, 1962, Horne and Norrish, 1967, and in stellar spectra, especially the solar spectrum Moore and Broida, 1959.

23Λ-type doubling parameters pv = 0.235 - 0.006v, qv = -0.0391 + 0.0018v, see Maillard, Chauville, et al., 1976 who give also centrifugal distortion terms. See 24.

Term values for v≤3 tabulated in Dieke and Crosswhite, 1948, Moore and Richards, 1971, for v=4, 5, 6 in Herman and Hornbeck, 1953, for v=7, 8, 9 in Bass and Garvin, 1962.

26The 79 μm electric dipole spectrum (2Π1/2,J=1/2 ← 2Π3/2, J=3/2) has been measured by the laser magnetic resonance method.
27Observed in emission in the spectrum of the night sky Meinel, 1950, Chamberlain and Roesler, 1955, Jones, 1955, Connes and Gush, 1959, Blackwell, Ingham, et al., 1960, in the H + O3 reaction McKinley, Garvin, et al., 1955, Kraus, 1957, Bass and Garvin, 1962, Murphy, 1971, in the H + O2 reaction Charters and Polanyi, 1960, and in oxyacetylene flames Benedict, Plyler, et al., 1953, Allen, Blaine, et al., 1957, Rogge, Yarger, et al., 1960, Maillard, Chauville, et al., 1976. In absorption in rare gas matrices Acquista, Schoen, et al., 1968.
28Radiative lifetimes derived from observed intensities: τ(v=1) = 24 ms, τ(v=2) = 12 ms Roux, d'Incan, et al., 1973; from the decay rate of the 9→7 radiation: τ(v=9) = 64 ms Potter, Coltharp, et al., 1971. The dipole moment function has been studied by many authors, most recently by Ferguson and Parkinson, 1963, d'Incan, Effantin, et al., 1971, Murphy, 1971 and Roux, d'Incan, et al., 1973 from measured band strengths and transition probabilities. An extensive ab initio calculation of the dipole moment function is given by Stevens, Das, et al., 1974 [see also Chu, Yoshimine, et al., 1974]. Mies, 1974 has used this ab initio function to predict absolute intensities of a large array of vibration-rotation transitions taking account of spin uncoupling and vibration-rotation interaction [see also the early work of Heaps and Herzberg, 1952 and Cashion, 1963].
29The 18 cm transition (2Π3/2,J=3/2) consists of four components Ehrenstein, Townes, et al., 1959, Radford, 1964, ter Meulen and Dymanus, 1972: F'=1←F"=2 1612.23101 MHz F'=1←F"=1 1665.40184 MHz F'=2←F"=2 1667.35903 MHz F'=2←F"=1 1720.52998 MHz Einstein A coefficients for these transitions have been calculated by Turner, 1966. Calculated frequencies for 17OH Valtz and Soglasnova, 1973.
30Hfs and Λ-doubling constants. From Stark shifts of the hf Λ-doubling transitions Powell and Lide, 1965, Meerts and Dymanus, 1973 determine μel(v=0) = 1.6676 D.
31Also observed in interstellar clouds, see the reviews in Barrett, 1967, Robinson and McGee, 1967, Cook, 1969. In some clouds there is strong evidence for maser action. In the laboratory population inversion between Λ-doublet states was recently observed by ter Meulen, Meerts, et al., 1976.
