Abstract
EMISSION spectra of heteronuclear molecules containing one rare gas atom and one oxygen or nitrogen atom have been investigated recently using high-dispersion spectrographs. These spectra have been known for a long time1–3. The vibrational structure was observed using low-dispersion spectrographs. Due to the low intensity, for a long time it was not possible to investigate the rotational structure of these spectra. Recently, Cooper et al.4 have succeeded in photographing the rotational structure of a number of XeO and KrO bands.
