The application of a vacuum ultraviolet Fourier transform spectrometer and synchrotron radiation source to measurements of: IV. The beta(6,0) and gamma(3,0) bands of NO
The beta (6,0) (B (2)Pi (r)-X (2)Pi (r)) and gamma (3,0) (A (2)Sigma (+)-X (2)Pi (r)) bands of NO have been recorded using a vacuum ultraviolet Fourier transform spectrometer with synchrotron radiation as light source. The analysis of the beta (6,0) and gamma (3,0) bands of NO provides accurate rotational line positions and term values. Molecular constants of the v=6 level of the B (2)Pi (r) and v=3 level of the A (2)Sigma (+) have been determined. Accurate rotational line strengths have also been obtained. The band oscillator strength of the beta (6,0) and gamma (3,0) bands are determined to be 0.48x10(-4) and 2.69x10(-4), respectively.
