    Abstract

    The origin of the intensity of the B 3Σu- ← b 1Σg+ transition of molecular oxygen, first observed recently by Eppink et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 108, 1305 (1998)], is discussed. It is shown that the B←b transition borrows its intensity principally from the dipole-allowed B←X transition, through spin-orbit mixing between the X 3Σg- and b 1Σg+ states. Estimated continuum photoabsorption cross sections and discrete oscillator strengths for the B←b system are presented.
