The emission spectrum of CaS from a King-type furnace has been recorded in
the region 13,150-16,150 cm(-1) by a Fourier Transform spectrophotometer (F
TS). The CaS B(1)Sigma (+)-X(1)Sigma (+) transition has been rotationally a
nalysed. Molecular constants have been calculated for both states. The prin
cipal molecular constants for the B(1)Sigma (+) state are T-c = 15,220.775(
3), omega (e) = 409.064(2), omega (c)chi (c) = 0.8200(3) and B-e = 0.166676
9(7) cm(-1).
