Abstract
A quantal calculation of the continuous absorption coefficient of the hydogen quasi-molecule for the transition 1 sσ2 sσ 3Σ + g ← 1 sσ2 pσ 3Σ + u is described the calculation includes the explicit dependence of the matrix element of the electronic dipole transition moment on the rotational state of the molecule. The detailed summation of the transition probability over all rotational states for temperatures at which several states are populated differs significantly from the probability given by the contribution of the rotationless ( J' = 0) state multiplied by the rotational partition function. The difference is larger than the errors resulting from the δ-function approximation to the continuum wave functions used in previously published calculations of this absorption coefficient.
