COMMENTS: Measurements with a quartz prism spectrograph

A significant increase of the absorption cross sections with pressure is observed (probably due to the formation of the dimer O4)

The listed data are the cross sections σ0, i.e., extrapolated to zero pressure according to the expression

σ(p, λ) = σ0 (λ) + p × ρ(λ).

The pressure coefficients are

205  10.1
210   8.1
