“…In our previous work, studies on the O þ 2 ion were presented and three bands with v 00 = 18, 19 in the second negative (A 2 P u -X 2 P g ) system of O þ 2 in the 12 100-14 100 cm À1 near infrared region were investigated by employing optical heterodyne magnetic rotation enhanced velocity modulation spectroscopy (OH-MR-VMS) [1]. In this note, three more new bands, namely (6,20), (4,20), and (2, 18) bands, were analyzed after further study of the residual spectral lines, therefore, precise constants for the level v 00 = 20 were determined for the first time.…”
