18Attributed to A → X Tanaka and Yoshino, 1972, possibly also contributions from a → X.
19Zero-point energy 12.3 cm-1 [see LeRoy, Klein, et al., 1974].
20From ΔG"(1/2) observed in the VUV absorption spectrum Tanaka and Yoshino, 1972 and the binding energy of v=1 Tanaka, Yoshino, et al., 1973 as corrected by LeRoy, Klein, et al., 1974. LeRoy, Klein, et al., 1974 recommend De0 = 28.6 cm-1 (0.00355 eV) LeRoy, Klein, et al., 1974, a value derived from solid-state data Goldman and Klein, 1973 and in fair agreement with the Ne-Ne scattering data of Siska, Parson, et al., 1971 and Farrar, Lee, et al., 1973 [De0= 3l.9 cm-1 Siska, Parson, et al., 1971 and De0= 29.7 cm-1 Farrar, Lee, et al., 1973, respectively] and the ab initio calculations of Gordon and Kim, 1972 and Stevens, Wahl, et al., 1974 [De0= 28.2 cm-1 Gordon and Kim, 1972 and De0= 27.2 cm-1 Stevens, Wahl, et al., 1974, respectively]; see also Nain, Aziz, et al., 1976 who give De0= 30.2 cm-1 Nain, Aziz, et al., 1976.
21It is not certain that these two progressions belong to two separate electronic states.
22All bands are very diffuse.
23Irregular intervals and intensities; tentative classification.
24Rotational structure partially resolved.
25Also weaker progression with v" = 1.
26Diffuse bands.
