We have calculated the molecular band profiles of alkali-rare gas systems associated with dipole forbidden transitions between the ground state and the first excited S or D state of the alkali atom. These calculations use the quasistatic method and recent theoretical data relative to the adiabatic potentials and oscillator strengths. The comparison with experimental profiles provides interesting information about the origin of the observed band and the validity of the theoretical data.
