Abstract
The absorption spectrum of the HD molecule has been investigated in the 950–600 Å region with a 6.65‐m normal‐incidence vacuum spectrograph in the second order using the helium continuum as a light source. In the spectrum of cooled HD, seven Rydberg series are identified. Four consist of the Q(1) lines in the transitions and converging to the levels of the HD+ ground state. The other three are identified as the R(0) series of the transitions, converging to the levels, and the R(0) series of the transitions converging to the level of the HD+ ground state. The lowest ionization energy of this molecule, obtained from the Q(1) series, is . Eight additional Rydberg series, observed near their series limits and identified as either R(0) or R(1) series, are also reported.
