Calculated spectral line profiles (intensity distributions) of the helium triplet diffuse series were obtained using the quasi-static approximation for ions and electrons. In these calculations, Doppler broadening, although negligible in most of the cases, was included as a device to avoid singularities. Plots and tabulations of the calculated profiles are presented, in addition to a discussion of the computational procedure and the validity of the calculations.
Double pass photoelectric observations are presented of five CaII lines (H, K, 8498 A, 8542 A, and 8662 A) in a number of solar plages of different degrees of activity, quiet regions, and a sunspot. The data are compared with previous work. All five lines show increasing emission together in plages, and the least opaque of the infrared triplet lines appears to exhibit core emission prior to the more opaque members of the multiplet. The question of source function equality is considered and the differences and similarities among plage profiles and between plage and quiet profiles are shown qualitatively and quantitatively.
The results of the configuration calculations of six singlet electronic states and one triplet electronic state of CO are presented. The potential energy curves, spectroscopic constants, and electron transition moments are calculated, along with electronic dipole moment functions for three states. The self consistent field and configuration calculations used to obtain the electronic wave functions are described. The theoretical results are found to be in good agreement with the experimental measurements, and in the case of the dipole moment function calculations, preferable to them.
Previous work in this area is surveyed and the mathematics involved in determining the quantitative intensity measurements in triplet bands is presented. Explicit expressions for the intensity distribution in the branches of the 3 Sigma-3 Pi and 1 Sigma-3Pi bands valid for all values of the coupling constant Y of the 3 Pi terms are given. The intensity distribution calculated according to the formulas given is compared with measurements of PH, 3 Pi-3 Sigma. Good quantitative agreement is obtained.
The vinylidene radical (H2C = C) is proposed as an intermediate in the combination reaction of triplet methylene. The conclusion is based upon the distribution of isotopic acetylenes produced from a 1:1 mixture of CD2 and CH2. The path of the reaction and the energetics of the intermediate species are discussed.
A new series of vibrational bands is predicted which arises from transitions between the lowest electron states of the triplet and singlet states of homonuclear C2. The predictions are useful for C2 identifications and for disentangling congested low resolution spectra that characterize new observations. Predictions are also made for Mulliken, Phillips, and Ballik-Ramsay band sequences, and all calculations are made with the assumed molecular constants and computational methods of KSO-II.
Profile variations from center to limb, as well as at different heights above the quiet solar limb, are illustrated by profile observations of the solar O I resonant triplet at 1302, 1304, and 1306 A that were obtained with the Skylab S082-B spectrograph. Since these lines share a common upper energy level, source function equality should exist for them when the lower states are populated according to their statistical weights. Profile congruency and profile inversion calculations comparisons show, however, that this is not the case, suggesting either errors in the fine structure collision rates, or the H I Ly-beta flux preferentially depopulating the 1302 A lower level, or two-dimensional transfer effects.
