Abstract:
The line intensities of the umbral MgH molecules reported by Sotirovski (1971) are re-analysed utilizing the latest laboratory data. It appears probable that because of a neglect of the role of blurring in producing stray light, Sotirovski’s (1971) results are under estimated. The need of a laboratory check upon the theoretical oscillator strengths of the weak bands (∆υ ≠ 0) calculate by Kirby et al. (1979) is stressed.
