Line intensities of the asymptotic asymmetric-top radical HO2 at high temperatures

The total internal partition sums were calculated in the product approximation at temperatures up to 5000 K for the asymptotic asymmetric-top HO 2 molecule. The calculations of the rotational partition function and the vibrational partition function were carried out with the rigid-top model and in the harmonic oscillator approximation, respectively. Our values of the total internal partition sums are consistent with the data of HITRAN database with 0.14% at 296 K. Using the calculated partition functions, we have calculated the line intensities of ν 2 band of HO 2 at several high temperatures. The results showed that the calculated line intensities are in very good agreement with those of HITRAN database at temperatures up to 3000 K, which provides a strong support for the calculations of partition functions and line intensities at high temperatures. Then we have extended the calculation to higher temperatures. The simulated spectra of ν 2 band of the asymptotic asymmetric-top HO 2 molecule at 4000 and 5000 K are also obtained.
