Abstract
In the last four years we have carried out a number of studies on the radiative and collisional processes in theA 2Π i state of CN. Many of these of interest to those studying planetary atmospheres, comets and solar spectra are summarized in this paper. Data for CNA 2Π i fluorescence lifetimes and quenching rates, and collisional energy transfer between CNA 2Π i andX 2∑+ are reported. Detailed comparisons and a discussion of the results may be found in several already published papers.
