Extract
The present communication is concerned with the problem of calculating the rotation-vibration energies and the absorption intensities of a triatomic molecule from the effective nuclear potential energy function and the dipole moment surfaces within the Born-Oppenheimer approximation (Born & Oppenheimer 1927). There are at least two astrophysical applications of such calculations:
— Detailed spectra of triatomic molecules can be computed under the conditions prevailing in stellar atmospheres and compared with observed spectra.
— Such spectra can also be used for constructing a wavenumber-dependent absorption coefficient which can be employed for opacity calculations as outlined, for example, by Jørgensen & Jensen (1993).
