Abstract
Intensity anomalies were observed from the spectroscopic analysis of the MgO $B^{1}\Sigma^{+} - a^{3}\Pi_{1}$ system. Information on population was obtained using linestrength factors calculated from the $X^{1}\Sigma^{+}\sim a^{3}\Pi\sim A^{\prime}\Pi$ deperturbation. The population ratios of $a^{3}\Pi$ to $A^{1}\Pi$ and of $a^{3}\Pi$ e- to f-parity were found to be more than a factor of two greater than those expected from a Boltzmann distribution.
