SPECTRAL ABSORPTION IN HEATED AIR,

Abstract

Several molecular band systems, which contribute appreciably to the absorption coefficient of heated air, have been theoretically reconstructed with the aid of a series of digital computer programs. Experimental spectroscopic results have been used in these programs whenever such results are available. The band systems are generated on a line-by-line basis up to high rotational quantum numbers, and then stored on magnetic tapes. The tapes are then used by other programs to compute absorption coefficients. Previous results are briefly summarized and two recently treated band systems are discussed: the Birge-Hopfield No. 1 system of N2 and the vibrationrotation bands of NO. (Author)
