Abstract

The spectrum of mercury was photographed in the 800–2000-Å range on a 3-m normal-incidence spectrograph using a triggered spark source. The 5d⁸6s–5d⁸6p transitions have been analyzed. One level of the 5d⁸6p configuration reported earlier has been rejected, whereas the assignment of another level has been revised All levels except two (¹S)²P in the 5d⁸6p configuration and all except one (¹S)²S in the 5d⁸6s configuration have been established. Least-squares-fitted calculations support the analysis. Two hundred fifty-nine additional lines have been classified in the Hg iv spectrum.
