Scientific paper

New radiative transition probabilities are presented for the OH(X2Pi) vibration-rotation bands based on an empirical electric dipole moment function. Einstein coefficients are tabulated for all lines likely to be encountered in airglow studies along with thermally-averaged band transition probabilities for a range of temperatures. These transition probabilities differ significantly from those widely used. The impact of these differences on measurements of aeronomical interest including OH rotational temperature and vibrational populations is discussed.
