The emitter of the woods band at 26017 cm-1 Woods, 1943 has been shown Singh, Bredohl, et al., 1973 to be SiO+ and not SiN as suggested by Dunn, Rao, et al., 1969.

Notes

1A ~ -72.
2Vibrational numbering unknown; the lowest observed level is arbitrarily assumed to have v=0.
3The observed spin-orbit coupling constants vary from A3 = -60.42 to A7 = -63.49 Bredohl, Dubois, et al., 1976.
4Perturbations in v=3 by a Σ state Linton, 1975, Bredohl, Dubois, et al., 1976.
5ωeze = -0.011.
6 Singh, Bredohl, et al., 1973 give the spin splitting constant γ0 = +0.0020 but Bredohl, Dubois, et al., 1976 change this to - 0.0034.
7Numerous perturbations; for a summary see Bredohl, Dubois, et al., 1976.
8Potential curves Singh and Rai, 1966, see also Bredohl, Dubois, et al., 1976.
9missing note
10 Bredohl, Dubois, et al., 1976 estimate a ~ 8000.
11The observed spin-orbit coupling constants [A1...A5 Bredohl, Dubois, et al., 1976] are approximately given by Av = -89.54 + 0.27(v+1/2).
12 Singh, Bredohl, et al., 1973 give the spin splitting constant γ0 = 0.0153 [see also Dunn, Rao, et al., 1969, Dunn and Dunn, 1972] but Bredohl, Dubois, et al., 1976 change this to -0.0172.
13A small perturbation in v=8 probably arises from interaction with A 2Π Bredohl, Dubois, et al., 1976.
14The 0-0 sequence was wrongly attributed to Si0+ by Nagaraj and Verma, 1968, see the correction by Dunn, Rao, et al., 1969. Measured relative intensities, Franck-Condon factors, r dependence of the transition moment Stevens and Ferguson, 1963, Gohel and Shah, 1975.
