ABSTRACT
This computer based version of NIST Special Publication 821 contains
the bibliography and atlas as updated through November 1994. The
calibration lines in this atlas, indicated by an asterisk (*),
are based on frequency rather than wavelength measurements. Since
a limited number of absolute frequency measurements have been
made, additional data from measurements using other techniques
are used to determine frequency differences within each band.
Data from these complementary techniques include the best Fourier
transform measurements available. The bibliography lists papers
that give relevant spectroscopic measurements for the five molecules
used in the atlas, CO, OCS, N2O, NO, and CS2.
The atlas and wavenumber tables consist of many pages of spectral
maps accompanied by tables of transition wavenumbers and their
identity. The tables are calculated from molecular constants derived
for this work and based on frequency measurements. The primary
calibration molecules are the linear triatomics, carbonyl sulfide
(OCS) and nitrous oxide (N2O), which cover portions of the
infrared spectrum ranging from 488 to 3120 cm-1. Some
gaps in the coverage afforded by OCS and N2O are partially
covered by NO, CO, and CS2. An additional region from 4000
to 4400 cm-1 based on CO is also included.
