OH airglow lines

The following tables list the vacuum wavelengths and intensities (in photons/s m¯²/arcsec²) of the OH airglow lines, as measured by Maihara et al. (1993; PASP 105, 940), together with the wavelengths and intensities (in kR) from Steed & Baker (1979; Appl. Opt. 18, 3386). A more extensive list of OH lines can be found here.
