The electronic spectrum and energy levels of the deuterium molecule.

Beginning in the 1930's GH Dieke and his students carried out an extensive program of measuring the optical spectrum of molecular hydrogen and its isotopes. This paper gives the 27488 lines of molecular Deuterium, measured by Dieke, arranges the 8243 assigned lines into band systems, and derives rotational-vibrational energy levels for over 50 electronic states. It also derives energy levels from published vacuum ultraviolet spectral of D2. This is the most extensive table of D2 energy levels available.
