The emission spectrum of PtO has been studied between 3800 Å and 8900 Å. In addition to the earlier reported A-X and D-X transitions several new transitions have been analysed. Most of them have either the X state or another state called the x state as their lower state. The X state has the character of a 0 + state, the x state has the character of a 1 state in Hund's coupling case c which together correspond to a 3 Σ - state. The X state together with the x state seem to constitute the ground state of PtO. The following molecular constants in cm -1 were obtained:
