The ro-vibrational spectrum of the weak (4, 6) hot band in the comet-tail ( A 2Π i – X 2Σ +) system of CO + is observed by employing optical heterodyne and magnetic rotation enhanced velocity modulation spectroscopy. One hundred and twenty-four spectral lines are assigned to this band; thus, precise molecular constants of the levels involved are obtained from a weighted nonlinear least-squares fitting procedure combining with our previous spectrum of the (3, 6) band.
