Oxygen Photoabsorption.

Abstract

Results of a study of photoabsorption in the Schumann-Runge system of molecular oxygen are reported. In the region of the Schumann-Runge continuum the temperature dependence of the photoabsorption cross-section has been measured and compared with theoretical calculations. In the band system measurements of the oscillator strengths and predissociation widths of absorption lines have been made. These measurements can be applied to detailed modelling the absorption of solar ultraviolet radiation in the atmosphere.
