EINSTEIN COEFFICIENTS FOR ROTATIONAL LINES OF THE (0, 0) BAND OF THE NO A2-SIGMA+-X2-PI SYSTEM

We present a summary of the spectroscopic equations necessary for prediction of the molecular transition energies and the Einstein A and B coefficients for rovibronic lines of the gamma(0, 0) band of nitric oxide (NO). The calculated molecular transition energies are all within 0.57 cm-1 of published experimental values; in addition, over 95% of the calculated energies give agreement with measured results within 0.25 cm-1. Einstein A(J' J'') and B(J'' J') coefficients are calculated from the band A00 value and the known Honl-London factors and are tabulated for individual rovibronic transitions in the NO A2-SIGMA+-X2-PI(0, 0) band.
