Spectroscopic Constants and Line Positions for TiO Singlet States
Abstract
A consistent set of spectroscopic constants for the a1Δ, d1Σ+, b1Π, c1Φ, and f1Δ states of 48Ti16O has been determined from analysis of the b1Π-a1Δ, b1Π-d1Σ+, c1Φ-a1Δ, and f1Δ-a1Δ systems. Three Fourier transform emission spectra have been used for the analysis. New bands of the b1Π-a1Δ and c1Φ-a1Δ systems have been fitted. The first analysis of the c1Φ-a1Δ system using Fourier transform spectra is also provided. Extensive and improved line positions are measured. TiO is prominent in the spectra of oxygen-rich cool stellar objects and may be present in hot-Jupiter exoplanet atmospheres.
