Nebular Spectra due to Elements of the Second Period

Abstract

MEASUREMENTS of the hot spark spectrum of sulphur in the Schumann region have enabled me to classify partially the singlet system of S III and to locate the new terms with respect to the known triplet system by means of numerous intercombinations. It has been possible to find two singlet terms in K VI from Ekefors'1 data and to locate them with respect to the known triplets by intercombinations. The new terms are listed in Table 1.
