Description
Twenty rovibronic transitions of the e(v’=5)-X(v’’=0) band of 12C16O for which experimental wavelengths were previously unavailable were recently detected by vacuum ultraviolet laser induced fluorescence excitation spectroscopy. The data is important in astrophysical applications and for comparison to the latest model of 12C16O. The experimental techniques that facilitated these measurements will be highlighted.
