Emission spectra of the A {sup 2{Pi}}-X {sup 2}{Sigma}{sup +} transition (red system) of {sup 13}C{sup 14}N have been measured in the 4000-15,000 cm{sup -1} region using the Fourier transform spectrometer associated with the McMath-Pierce Solar Telescope of the National Solar Observatory. The {sup 13}C{sup 14}N free radical was produced in microwave discharge of a mixture of {sup 13}CH{sub 4} and {sup 14}N{sub 2}. Rotational analysis of 22 vibrational bands involving vibrational levels up to v' = 8 and v'' = 5 of the excited and ground states has been obtained and much improved spectroscopic constants have been determined. An experimental line list and calculated term values are provided. The results of the present analysis are useful for the identification of {sup 13}C{sup 14}N lines in late-type stars in the red and near-infrared spectral regions.
