TABLE I
Constants for series formulas in Na i. These constants apply to the formula for δ = n − n* given in the text. The resulting values of n* yield energy levels based on the values 109 734.69 cm−1 for RNa and 41 449.44 cm−1 for the limit.

TABLE II
Differences between calculated and observed levels in Na i, Ecalc − Eobs (cm−1). The calculated levels were obtained with the formula constants in Table I. The observed levels were taken from Ref. 1 except for 4f 2F° from Ref. 3. Levels for which the differences are given in parentheses were fitted or taken into account in deriving the formula constants.

TABLE III
Frequency separations of some high levels of Na i. The formula values are predicted by the constants in Table I, the ns 2S levels being obtained with the 2S1/2(1) formula. The separations refer to 2P°, 2D, and 2F° term baricenters except for the 2P° levels listed with J values. Most of the original experimental values (references in text) have been rounded off to give uncertainties of a few units in the last place (numbers in parentheses).

TABLE IV
Quantum defects for some high levels in Na i. The δ(formula) values were obtained with the constants for the appropriate series in Table I. The experimental defect for 36s is from data in Ref. 15 and all other experimental defects are from Ref. 4. The experimental uncertainties given in parentheses are in units of the last decimal place of the quoted values.
