From published potential-energy curves and transition dipole moments we obtain by numerical integration of the equations of nuclear motion the vibrational eigenfunctions of the X /sup 1/..sigma../sub g//sup +/ and B' /sup 1/..sigma../sub u//sup +/ states of H/sub 2/ and we calculate the probabilities of radiative transitions from the discrete vibrational levels of the excited B' /sup 1/..sigma../sub u//sup +/ electronic state of H/sub 2/ to the discrete and continuum vibrational levels of the ground X /sup 1/..sigma../sub g//sup +/ electronic state. The Franck-Condon factors are also presented.
