Accurate Einstein coefficients for electric dipole transitions in the first negative band of N2+

Résumé

Context. The N2+ fluorescence spectrum of comet C/2016 R2 is modelled in a companion paper. That work relies on accurate Einstein coefficients for electric dipole transitions between the B2∑u+ and X2∑g+ electronic states of N2+.Aims. These coefficients are provided in the present paper.Methods. The potential energy curves and transition dipole moments were computed at a high level of ab initio theory and include relativistic corrections. Rovibrational wavefunctions were then obtained without assuming separability of vibrational and rotational motions.Results. Vibrationally and rotationally resolved Einstein coefficients are presented in a convenient three-parameter functional form for three isotopologues. A possible explanation is given for the large variation in the experimental radiative lifetimes.
