Abstract

Ratios of emission probabilities of rotational lines of the Lyman and Werner band systems, B 1∑+u →X 1∑+g and C 1∏u →X1∑+g, respectively, are calculated by different methods. These theoretical ratios are compared to the experimental intensity ratios of about a hundred lines selected from a vacuum ultraviolet emission spectrum whose intensity is investigated for the first time at high resolution. The computation permits to compare two ways of solving a system of two coupled equations with discrete eigenvalues. In most cases the effect of the mutual rotational perturbation between B and C states is found significant on the ratio of P and R line intensities. Ambiguity in labeling a few B and C levels is discussed.
