Abstract

With the aim of investigating the resonance system of NO, equivalent width calculations have been made for the 213.575 nm, Q 1(31.5) line of the 1–0 band of γ-system of NO for the photospheric HSRA model, and for the line 214.012 nm, Q 1(25.5) line of the same band system for Zwaan's (1974) sunspot model.

Calculations show that γ-band system would not show up in the photospheric spectrum whereas a sunspot model yields an equivalent width of 72 mÅ suggesting that sunspots may provide relatively more favourable conditions for the detections of the resonance systems of some abundant molecules in the inaccessible ultraviolet region.
