Abstract
Vibrational transition probabilities: namely, Franck-Condon factors andr-centroids, have been evaluated using an approximate analytical method for theB-A system of MgO. Morse potential energy curves forB 1Σ+ andA 1Π states of MgO have been constructed by use of the latest spectroscopic data. The value ofr-centroids for the band have been found to decrease linearly with the corresponding wavelength. We show results for six new bands in the umbral spectrum of the Sun.
