- Title
Chemiluminescent NiO* emissions: band systems and spectral simulation.

- Abstract
Following the renewed interest in metal oxide emissions in the night airglow, high-resolution laboratory observations of NiO* in the visible and near-infrared regions of the spectrum are reviewed, and approximate spectroscopic constants are derived to augment those already available in the literature. A preliminary spectral band simulation model is developed for the relevant NiO systems. Franck-Condon factors, calculated using the preliminary spectroscopic constants, are used in the model to conduct an iterative comparison with low-resolution NiO* chemiluminescent emissions observed in the laboratory. Relative vibrational level populations are estimated, and shortcomings of the model are noted. The existence of a new NiO band system is also suggested.
