Fourier-transform spectroscopy of $^{13}$C$^{17}$O and deperturbation analysis of the A$^1Π$ ($ν$ = 0 - 3) levels

The high-resolution B$^1Σ^+$ - A$^1Π$ (0, 0) and (0, 3) emission bands of the less-abundant $^{13}$C$^{17}$O isotopologue have been investigated by Fourier-transform spectroscopy in the visible region using a Bruker IFS 125HR spectrometer at an accuracy 0.003 cm$^{-1}$. These spectra are combined with high-resolution photoabsorption measurements of the $^{13}$C$^{17}$O B$^1Σ^+$ $\leftarrow$ X$^1Σ^+$ (0, 0), B$^1Σ^+$ $\leftarrow$ X$^1Σ^+$ (1, 0) and C$^1Σ^+$ $\leftarrow$ X$^1Σ^+$ (0, 0) bands recorded with an accuracy of 0.01 cm$^{-1}$ using the vacuum ultraviolet Fourier-transform spectrometer, installed on the DESIRS beamline at the SOLEIL synchrotron. In the studied 17,950 - 22,500 cm$^{-1}$ and 86,800 - 92,100 cm$^{-1}$ regions, 480 transitions have been measured. These new experimental data were combined with data from the C $\to$ A and B $\to$ A systems, previously analyzed in 13C17O. The frequencies of 1003 transitions derived from 12 bands were used to analyze the perturbations between the A$^1Π$ ($ν$ = 0 - 3) levels and rovibrational levels of the d$^3Δ_i$, e$^3Σ^-$, a$'{}^3Σ^+$, I$^1Σ^-$ and D$^1Δ$ states as well as to a preliminary investigation of weak irregularities that appear in the B$^1Σ^+$ ($ν$ = 0) level. Deperturbed molecular constants and term values of the A$^1Π$ state were obtained. The spin-orbit and L-uncoupling interaction parameters as well as isotopologue-independent spin-orbit and rotation-electronic perturbation parameters were derived.
