Notes

1ωeze = -0.250. This state may have a potential hump of ~0.13 eV; see Barrow, 1960.
2Predissociation above v = 4 Miescher, 1935.
3The rotational constants refer to the normal 79,81Br isotopic mixture.
4Radiative lifetime τ(v=0,1)= 26 ns Lutz and Hesser, 1968, corresponding to an absorption value of f00= 0.10.
5From the predissociation in A 1Π; see Barrow, 1960.
