Abstract
An overview of the theory of the Zeeman eect in diatomic molecules for the limiting Hund's cases (a) and (b) is given and a numerical approach for the intermediate coupling case (a{b) is developed. In contrast to earlier derivations, which were limited to doublets, this approach is valid for terms of any multiplicity. General properties of the Zeeman eect for the various cases are deduced. Finally, calculated Land e factors for prominent molecular bands in sunspot and cool-star spectra are employed to predict the general behaviour of these bands in the presence of a magnetic eld below the Paschen-Back limit. The limiting eld strength is calculated and listed.
