RADIATIVE LIFETIMES OF THE $A^{2}\Sigma^{+}$ STATE OF OD

$^{1}$B, G. Elmergreen and W. H. Smith, Ap. J. 178, 557 (1972).Author Institution: Department of Physics, University of MissouriThe lifetimes of approximately 100 Lines of the 3065 {\AA} (0, 0) band and 30 lines of the 2800 {\AA} (1,0) band of OD were measured. Data were taken at five different pressures for each line with a pulsed for discharge and delayed coincidence apparatus. Variation of lifetimes of the rotational Lines over the bands will be reported, including some small variations in the (0,0) band in partial agreement with those of Smith’$s.^{1}$ This research was supported by ONR Contract N00014-69-A-0141-0004
