Abstract
We have obtained the transition probabilities of the 5577 Å, and 6300 Å lines of [OI] by simultaneously measuring the absolute intensity and the population of the upper state of each line in an inert gas–oxygen discharge. Further, we have obtained A values for the 2972 Å and 6364 Å lines by measuring relative intensities of lines from the 1S0 and 1D2 levels.
