37. Although the CRDS oscillator strengths for the A←X system are ∼40% lower than the UVFTS values, Huestis et al. (Ref. 35) use recommended values close to those of Yoshino et al. (Ref. 36) in estimating the Herzberg I cross-section branching ratio. CRDS oscillator strengths for the weaker A′←X and c←X systems are expected to be significantly more accurate than those for the A←X system.

62. Subscripts in the transition-moment notation adopted in this work refer to the value of Ω′. Equalities between the moments arise because of symmetry considerations, leading to the need for only three independent moments in the case of the A←X transition.

71. In principle, it is possible to match the experimental cross section by making adjustments to the A-state potential-energy curve while retaining a smaller transition-moment slope. However, potential-energy curves determined in this way either exhibit anomalies in shape or are inconsistent with the known form in the Rydberg-valence region (Sec. IV B).
