Experimental data [1] on the Hartley band of ozone absorption at temperatures T = 300, 500, 720, and 900 K were analyzed with the aim of refining the parameters of the potential surface of the excited electronic state and of the electronic transition-moment function. The analysis was carried out using a fitting procedure in the framework of the method of spectral moments. The excited-state potential was assumed to contain the quartic-anharmonicity terms in the coordinate corresponding to the antisymmetric (repulsive) mode; the electronic transition moment was assumed to depend on the deformation coordinate, and the Dushinskii effect was incorporated as a cross term between the symmetric and deformation modes. The resulting band contours were reproduced with an accuracy comparable to the experimental accuracy [1].
