Abstract
The visible absorption spectra of several heavy diatomic molecules and of many polyatomic molecules show a very complex structure. The spectral line density is often so large that many absorption lines overlap within their Doppler-width. When measured with Doppler-limited spectral resolution, these spectra may therefore appear quasicontinuous, concealing finer details, such as rotational structure or fine- and hyperfine-splittings.
