Abstract
The vibrational structure of the $5500 {\AA}$ band of XeO has been reported by $Cooper et al^{1}$. In the present work the rotational structure of the 0--4, 1--5, and 0--5 vibronic transitions in the $5500 {\AA}$ band of XeO have been resolved. Spectra were taken of an air-xenon mixture at 0.24 torr using 3.5 Mc excitation. Less than 0.1% air was present. Preliminary analysis of the data gives the following rotational constants: $B_{o}{^{\prime}}1=0.09 \pm 0.02 cm^{-1}, B_{2}{^{1}}=0.06 \pm 0.01 cm^{-1}, B_{4}""}=0.39 \pm 0.02 cm^{-1}, B_{5}""}=0.31 \pm 0.03 cm^{-1}$.
