The isotopically self-consistent Hamiltonian contains the Born-Oppenheimer potential” in analytical form, together with functions describing spin-orbit coupling and firsth and second-order Born-Oppenheimer breakdown effects (including A-type doubling). Numerical solution of the radial Schr\""{o}dinger equation using the derived Hamiltonian yields eigenvalues that represent the entire body of spectroscopic line positions for all three isotopomers to within the accuracies of the measurements. The method offers significant advantages over traditional fitting methods, including a full and self-consistent account of centrifugal distortion. en_US dc.format.extent 96254 bytes dc.format.mimetype image/jpeg dc.language.iso English en_US dc.publisher Ohio State University en_US dc.title DIRECT DETERMINATION OF THE RADIAL HAMILTONIAN FOR THE $X^{2}\Pi$ STATE OF OH, OD AND OT en_US dc.type article en_US
