Absorption Spectrum of RB i in the Vacuum Ultraviolet

A new investigation of the absorption spectrum of Rb vapor in the region 6O() 900 A has yielded considerable extension of Beutler's early results, and the analysis has been revised. The transitions are listed in terms of a generalixed -cuupling notation. Some calculations concerning the Rb ii spectrum have also been made. Many of the Rb I features observed exhibit large autoionixation widths.
