Abstract

Some weak unidentified solar photospheric lines in the wavelength range: (3400–3465) A may be due to PH lines of the (0, 0) band of the PH(A 3 Π i - X 3 ∑-)system. These faint PH molecular lines have resulted an excitation temperature of the order of 4500 K. Using experimental lifetime data for PH in the A 3 Π i state, an absorption oscillator strength f 00 = 0.0075 is derived for the 3410 A band of the PH (A 3 Π i - X 3 ∑-)system. Accurate line positions, oscillator strength and transition probability for the 4.4μ fundamental rotation-vibration band of the PH molecule are obtained. A comparison of positions of some lines of the 4.4μ band with those obtained on new tracings of high resolution solar spectra shows many coincidences with weak solar lines.
