Abstract
KAPLAN1 recently succeeded in exciting, in the afterglow of nitrogen, a line, λ 3471 A., that probably corresponds to the forbidden transition 2P ↠4S of NI. Theoretically it is very interesting and curious to see that this line is emitted under relatively high pressure, at the same time as the Vegard-Kaplan bands, which are themselves forbidden.
