We report a rotationally resolved spectroscopic detection scheme for vibrationally excited molecular oxygen with high sensitivity. Two-color (2 + 1') resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) spectra of O2 hot bands were recorded for the first time via the 3dπ(v'=0)←X3Σg- (v″ = 1) Rydberg transitions. Spectroscopic constants and relative Franck-Condon factors were extracted and compared to simulations.

Dingoes are culturally and ecologically important free-living canids whose ancestors arrived in Australia over 3,000 B.P., likely transported by seafaring people.

However, commercial cultivars in the breeding pipeline that are tailored to meet market demand are at risk of possessing reduced fruit flavour qualities. This stems from recurrent prioritised selection for superior agronomic traits and not fruit flavour, which may in turn reduce consumer satisfaction.
