Corrigendum
Corrigendum to ‘‘Spectral line parameters including temperature dependencesof air-broadening for the 2 0 bands of 13C16O and 12C18O at 2.3 lm’’ [J. Mol.Spectrosc. 276–277 (2012) 33–48]

The authors regret that the statistical weight gi was not printedin Eq. (2) of our published article [1]. The correct equation shouldhave been written as
SiðT0Þ ¼SvmiLiFQrm0
gi � exp�C2E00
T0
� �1� exp
�C2mi
T0
� �� �ð2Þ
In Eq. (2), gi is the statistical weight [2] given by gi = G (2Ii + 1)where Ii is the spin of each nucleus i. The nuclear spin Ii and the sta-tistical weight gi for CO isotopologues are given below.

Statistical weight (gi) of the isotopologues 12C16O or 12C18O (2 � 0 + 1)(2 � 0 + 1) = 1 13C16O or 13C18O (2 � 1/2 + 1)(2 � 0 + 1) = 2 12C17O (2 � 0 + 1)(2 � 5/2 + 1) = 6 13C17O (2 � 1/2 + 1)(2 � 5/2 + 1) = 12Other terms in Eq. (2) were defined in Ref. [1] but are included herefor the convenience of the reader:
mi = wavenumber (in cm�1) of a transition; v0 = band center (incm�1, equal to G0 � G00); E00 = the lower state energy (in cm�1);T0 = the temperature of the absorbing gas, which in the presentcase is the reference temperature of 296 K; Sv = the vibrationalband strength in cm/molecule at 296 K; Si = line intensity (in cm/molecule at 296 K); Li = the Hönl-London factors; C2 = the secondradiation constant = 1.4387 when line positions and lower stateenergies are in cm�1, T in Kelvin and the molecular mass is inamu. Qr = lower state rotational quantum partition function attemperature T0 (296 K), (224.074297 for 13C16O and 112.464588for 12C18O).
The F factors have already been given by Eq. (3) in Ref. [1].Please note that all of the intensity values reported in tables and
figures of Ref. [1] were generated using the correct form of Eq. (2)including the statistical weight.
The authors especially thank Gang Li and Iouli Gordon at theHarvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge MA forpointing out this omission.
