Theory of the Hyperfine Structure of the NO Molecule. II. Errata and Some Additional Discussion

A theoretical formula for the magnetic hfs of diatomic molecules previously given by one of us (M.M.) is revised by including the Fermi term and correcting an error in the choice of phase. The new formula gives $eQq=-1.7\mathrm{}$ Mc/sec and $\mathrm{eQ}{q}^{\prime }=22\mathrm{}$ Mc/sec for the ${}_{}{}^2{}_{}{}^{}\Pi$ state of the NO molecule. It was found that these constants together with the values $a=23.14\mathrm{}$ Mc/sec, $b=14.056\mathrm{}$ Mc/sec, for the parameters of the magnetic hfs, defined in the first paper give theoretical frequencies which explain not only $\frac{1}{2}\to \frac{3}{2}$ spectra but also the $\frac{3}{2}\to \frac{5}{2}$ transitions of the ${}_{}{}^2{}_{}{}^{}\Pi _{\frac{1}{2}}^{}{}_{}{}^{}$ state. A discussion on the theory of the magnetic resonance spectrum of the ${}_{}{}^2{}_{}{}^{}\Pi _{\frac{3}{2}}^{}{}_{}{}^{}$ state is also given.
