Beschreibung:
Electric dipole transition matrix elements for rovibrational transitions in the X (sup 1)Sigma(sup +) state of the CO minor isotopes (14)C(16)O and (13)C(17)O are calculated for the first time for all the delta v = +1, +2, and +3 transitions for which v less than or equal to 20 and J less than or equal to 150. Improved electric dipole transition matrix elements are also calculated for the minor isotopes (12)C(17)O, (12)C(18)O, (13)C(18)O. We have fitted polynomials to these matrix elements as a function of the parameter m which is defined in terms of the lower state angular momentum quantum number J; the convenient to use polynomial representations are given in tabular form. These results for the minor species of CO complement those previously reported by us for (12)C(16)O and (13)C(16)O.
