Franck-Condon factor formulae for astrophysical and other molecules

Journal Article · · Astrophys. J., Suppl. Ser.; (United States)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1086/190760· OSTI ID:5625465
Simple closed-form, approximate, analytic expressions for Franck-Condon factors are given. They provide reliable estimates for Franck-Condon factor arrays for molecular band systems for which only ..omega../sub e/, r/sub e/, and ..mu../sub A/ values are known, as is often the case for astrophysically interesting molecules such as CeO, CoH, CrH, CrO, CuH, GeH, LaO, NiH, SnH, and ZnH for band systems of which Franck-Condon arrays have been calculated.
