The following data are generally consistent with line positions we used earlier, by V. Kaufman and B. Edlén ("Reference wavelengths from atomic spectra in the
range 15 Å to 25000 Å", J.Phys.Chem.Ref.Data 3, 825, 1974), but supercede them in precision.
Intensities and air wavelengths are from C.J. Sansonetti, M.M. Blackwell, and E.B. Saloman ("High-resolution observations of the infrared spectrum of
neutral neon", Journal of Research of the National Institute of
Standards and Technology, May-June 2004). Intensities can only be considered as a coarse guide, because they depend on special discharge lamp conditions. (See also NIST Atomic Spectra Database)
Vacuum wavelengths are derived therefrom via formula (2) by E.R. Peck and K. Reeder ("Dispersion of air", J.Opt.Soc.Am. 62(8), 958-962, 1972). Vacuum wavelengths are most practical for airglow spectrometer calibration, because they directly relate to energy term differences from computed band spectra.
