Hydroxyl X2Π pure rotational transitions
Abstract
We present a list of frequencies, term values, Einstein A values, and assignments for the pure rotational transitions of the X2Π state of the OH molecule. This list includes transitions from 3 to 2015 cm-1 for Δv=0, v`=0 -4, and J`=0.5-49.5. The A values were computed using recent advances in calculating wave functions for a coupled system and an experimentally derived electric dipole moment function (Nelson et al. 1990 which exhibits curvature. ©American Geophyiscal Union 1992
