Fig. (5) Production (from right to left) of the W²Π (black), K²Π (dark blue), H²Σ⁺ (light blue), F²Δ (brown), M²Σ⁺ (red), H'²Π (dark green), O'²Π (light green), N²Δ (gray), E²Σ⁺ (purple), T²Σ⁺ (orange) and Z²Σ⁺ (gold) electronic states of NO. The states S²Σ⁺ (magenta) and Q²Π (pink) are also almost hidden behind the state O'²Π.
