Notes

Only 1-0 band analyzed.

Constants for v=1:

D₁ = 8.₀E-7.

It is possible that the lower state of system X is identical with that of system VII. In this case, Ω' = Ω" = 3.

Assignment of 1-0 band not certain. Lower state constants for this band are B₀" = 0.5869, D₀" = 7.₀E-7.

0-0 sequence only.

The Ω-type doubling in the 0-0 band, Δν ~0.000103~J(J+1), is believed to arise in the lower state.
