Introduction

This set of data concerns four isotopic species of CO : 12C16O, 13C16O, 12C18O, 13C18O.

It is based :
1) on the rotational analysis of the absorption bands of CO performed by Eidelsberg and Rostas (1990),
2) on the band absorption cross sections and photodissociation branching ratios measured by Letzelter et al. (1987)
3) on the the upper state lifetimes evaluated in Viala et al. (1988).


It was originally published as:
Atlas of the absorption/dissociation spectra of CO and its isotopes between 91.2 nm and 115.2 nm
by: M. Eidelsberg, J.J. Benayoun, Y. Viala and F. Rostas
in: A&A Suppl. Series 90, 231-282 (1991)
Abstract
Erratum : In Formula (9), page 233, 10exp(20) should be replaced by 10exp(19)

The corrections introduced by Eidelsberg et al. (1992) have been included in the tables below.
