✦ Synopsis
Emission spectra of methane-oxygen low-pressure flames have been recorded at a resolution of 0.02 cm Ϫ1 with an infrared Fourier transform spectrometer in the spectral ranges 780 -1370 and 1800 -5000 cm Ϫ1 . The flame temperature was about 1850 K and a large number of transitions involving J values as high as 34 for an extended set of vibrational states could be assigned. Combined with already published data sets on H 2 O, our line position analysis yielded rotational energy levels for many of these states, but only the results relevant to the ground and the (010) states are presented here. The experimental energies for these two states have been fitted with the help of the bending-rotation Hamiltonian approach [L. H. Coudert, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 181, 246 -273 (1997)], and for each rotational level, the calculated energy along with its uncertainty is reported and compared with the observed value. Comparisons with other available energy level data sets for the ground and (010) states are also presented.
