Abstract

High resolution, near infrared emission spectra of TiH and TiD have been recorded with a Fourier transform spectrometer. The TiH and TiD molecules were made in a titanium hollow cathode lamp operated with a mixture of neon and hydrogen or deuterium gases. A heavily perturbed band system near 938 nm is assigned as a (4)Phi-X (4)Phi electronic transition. Line positions and approximate spectroscopic constants are reported for the 0-0 band of the new transition. The (4)Phi-X (4)Phi TiH transition might potentially be observed in late M-type stars and in L-type brown dwarfs. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
