Abstract

Self-pressure-induced, as well as argon- and nitrogen-induced, broadening γ and shifting δ coefficients of vibrational-rotational lines of the water molecule have been calculated. The asymptotic behavior of the coefficients γ and δ at J → 42 and K a J has been studied. For the calculation of the parameters γ and δ, we used the wave functions obtained from the analysis of highly excited rotational states of the H2O molecule with the maximal ever observed values of rotational quantum numbers J max = 42, K amax = 32. Rotational states were analyzed in the method of effective Hamiltonians using generating functions for the first eight vibrational states of the molecule.
