Fraunhofer's Spectrum in the Neighborhood of 96,000A

The absorption of solar radiation by the atmospheres of the sun and the earth has been examined with high resolving power over the spectral region from 70,000A to 110,000A. This paper is concerned with a discussion of the spectrum in the vicinity of 96,000A. The strongest rotation-vibration band of the ozone molecule occupies this region and has been separated into lines. The structure of the molecule is discussed in the light of these new data.
