Three independent theoretical studies of the eigenfunctions of the X 2Π and excited A 2Σ+, B 2Σ+, and C 2Σ+ states of OH are described, and results are presented for the transition dipole moments connecting each excited state to the others and to the ground state. The bound–bound and bound–free vibrational band transition probabilities are obtained, and the resulting radiative lifetimes are compared with the measured values. The calculations confirm the recent measurements for the A 2Σ+ and C 2Σ+ states, but are inconsistent with the lifetimes measured for the B 2Σ+ state.
