Abstract
A book whose title refers to the spectroscopy of diatomic molecules is, inevitably, going to be compared with the classic book written by G. Herzberg under the title Spectroscopy of Diatomic Molecules . This book was published in 1950, and it dealt almost entirely with electronic spectroscopy in the gas phase, studied by the classic spectrographic techniques employing photographic plates. The spectroscopic resolution at that time was limited to around 0.1 cm −1 by the Doppler effect; this meant that the vibrational and rotational structure of electronic absorption or emission band systems could be easily resolved in most systems. The diatomic molecules studied by 1950 included conventional closed shell systems, and a large number of open shell electronic states of molecules in both their ground and excited states. Herzberg presented a beautiful and detailed summary of the principles underlying the analysis of such spectra. The theory of the rotational levels of both closed and open shell diatomic molecules was already well developed by 1950, and the correlation of experimental and theoretical results was one of the major achievements of Herzberg's book. It is a matter of deep regret to us both that we cannot present our book to ‘GH’ for, hopefully, his approval. On the other hand, we were both privileged to spend time working in the laboratory in Ottawa directed by GH, and to have known him as a colleague, mentor and friend.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
