Notes

1A0=+21.82, A1=+21.93; slight J dependence. A negative value of A has been ruled out by the calculations of Walker and Richards, 1970.
2Slightly different constants in Tatevskii, Tunitskii, et al., 1958.
3The Λ-type doubling in the 1/2 and 3/2 components Walker and Barrow, 1969 does not follow the "pure precession" pattern for a regular 2Π state. An earlier explanation Walker and Richards, 1967 of this "anomaly" has since been revised Walker and Richards, 1970.
4D1 = 8.26E-6.
5J'=1/2 (average of F1 and {F2}) relative to N"=0.
6Mass-spectrometric values Hildenbrand and Murad, 1966, Farber and Srivastava, 1974.
