A recursive analytic method based on the Morse potential function is adopted for numerical computation of Franck-Condon factors, r-centroids and higher order integrals of electronic band systems of diatomic molecules. Some band systems of several astrophysically important molecules are computed and compared to the results of calculations based on realistic Klein-Dunham potential functions. An important assumption of this analytic method is that the anharmonic constants for the two electronic states are the same; in practice this is a good approximation for many band systems, and for such systems examined here, the Franck-Condon factors and associated integrals are in good agreement, particularly for the strong bands. For cases where the anharmonic constants are substantially different, the agreement is much poorer, but at least general trends of band strengths with vibrational quantum numbers are predicted.
