Abstract
Several transitions in the rotational spectrum of the $X^{2} \pi (v=0)$ state of the $SO^{+}$ ion have been observed. Discharges in $Ar-SO_{2}, Ar-O_{2}H_{2}S$, or pure $SO_{2}$ were employed to produce this species successfully. The very characteristic slow Zeeman effect of the $^{2}\pi_{1/2}$ state was used to unambiguously identify the $SO^{+}$ lines, even though many stronger interfering lines of other species, both paramagnetic and diamagnetic, were present in the spectrum. The new spectroscopic constants agree well with previous values from optical spectroscopy.
