Notes

1Constants for the lowest observed level and interval, vibrational numbering unknown. From perturbations in A 1Π.
2Vibrational numbering uncertain.
3Constants for the f component; Δνfe ~ +0.00015J(J+1).
4The A 1Π state is perturbed by three states, one of them being X 1Σ+, another probably 1Δ.
5Theoretical calculations Verhaegen and Richards, 1967 support a 1Σ ground state.
6From Gaydon Gaydon, 1968.
