Notes

1From isotope relations Edvinsson, Kopp, et al., 1963.
2A0 = +5.0.
3Deperturbed constants for the three interacting states which form the d complex. The 2Δ5/2 component was not observed. Most of the lines are somewhat diffuse. The 2Π-2Σ band whose low J lines are sharp had been misinterpreted by Khan and Hasnain, 1973 in terms of two overlapping 2Σ-2Σ transitions. Small local perturbations.
4From the proposed assignment of the 1-0 band by Khan and Afridi, 1968. Kaving and Lindgren, 1974 observe a diffuse single branch only.
5A0= +18.8, A1= +19.3.
6Deperturbed constants for the two interacting states which form the p complex. Small local perturbations.
7D1 = 2.064E-4; H0 = +4.7E-9.
8F1 levels not observed, presumably on account of predissociation. In v=1 both spin components seem to be predissociated.
9H0= +2.5E-9.
10Constants derived from high N values. At low N, v=0 is perturbed by a state of smaller B value. The observed origin of the 0-0 band is at 28352.5 cm-1.
11At low pressure predissociation above v=0, N=10.
12Strong perturbations for higher N values.
13A ~ 9.3.
14Two Q heads.
15Deperturbed constants for the strongly interacting states A 2Π and B 2Σ+: see Berg and Klynning, 1974. For an extensive discussion of the rotational structure of the two states (including spin and Λ-type doubling) see also Veseth, 1971, Veseth, 1971, 2, Veseth, 1971, 3.
16H0= +4.31E-9.
17A0= +79.01; slight J dependence Berg and Klynning, 1974. See also Veseth, 1971.
18H0= +5.08E-9.
19Spin-splitting constant γv= +0.0429 - 0.0010(v+1/2).
20He= +5.51E-9.
21ESR sp. 24
22From the predissociation in C 2Σ+, assuming dissociation into Ca(3P) + H(2S).
23From the observation of Rydberg states in the absorption spectrum Kaving and Lindgren, 1974.
24In Ar matrix at 4 K Knight and Weltner, 1971.
