Abstract

Transition probabilities for the second negative band system of O 2 + are computed using the dipole transition moment presented by Wetmore et al. [1984]. Vibrational levels υ″ = 0 − 54 of the X ²Π g ground state and υ′ = 0 − 33 of the excited A ²Π u state are included. Franck-Condon factors for ionization-excitation of O 2 ( X ³Σ g ; υ = 0 − 25) to O 2 + ( A ²Π u ;υ′ = 0 − 33) are also presented.
