Notes

1System G ← X of Donovan and Strachan, 1971.
2Bands with v' ≥ 3 are diffuse.
3System E ← X of Donovan and Strachan, 1971.
4System f ← X of Donovan and Strachan, 1971.
5Only v=0 observed.
6Additional ΔG(v+1/2) and Bv values (v≤17) in Martin, Perdigon, et al., 1974. Strong perturbations.
7Additional ΔG(v+1/2) and Bv values (v≤17) in Martin, Perdigon, et al., 1974, Sibai, Perdigon, et al., 1974, Martin, Figuet, et al., 1975. Strong perturbations produced by interaction with the B and, possibly, other states.
8In emission no bands with v' ≥ 10 are observed except those with v'= 14 Almy and Kinzer, 1935. In absorption bands with v' ≥ 10 are observed Topouzkhanian and Sibai, 1972, Sibai, Perdigon, et al., 1974 but the lines in them are broad except those with v'= 14 which are sharp. The line width varies greatly as a function of J in bands with v' ≥ 10. There is clearly a predissociation limit at 42700 ± 100 cm-1.
9Originally Kinzer and Almy, 1937 attributed to As2+. Recognized as being due to neutral As2 by Mrozowski and Santaram, 1967. The lower states are the two case "c" components of c 3Σu+ Perdigon and d'Incan, 1970.
10Strong system in the infrared Mrozowski and Santaram, 1967, not analyzed in detail.
11System D → X of Kinzer and Almy, 1937.
1219855 in Perdigon and d'Incan, 1970 appears to be erroneous.
13Ω-type doubling, Δνfe = (-)0.00018J(J+1).
14ωeze = -0.00001958.
15From the predissociation limit in A 1Σu+ assuming dissociation into 4S + 2D without kinetic energy Kinzer and Almy, 1937. Extrapolation of the ground state vibrational levels (observed to v=70, i.e., 80% of D00 ) gives 3.93 eV Almy, 1937 Kinzer and Almy, 1937.
