The bismuth spectrum emitted from a hollow cathode discharge
has been recorded with a Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS). Accurate
wavelengths have been determined for 104 lines, and several
new energy levels have been found, while the accuracy of previously known
level energies have been improved. The hyperfine structure of
all observed
lines has been analyzed, yielding hyperfine
constants A and B for 56
levels. With the aid of the
laboratory measurements the optical region spectrum of the HgMn star
HR 7775 has been studied for all observable
lines. The wavelengths
and hfs constants established from the laboratory work have been combined with
theoretical gf values to identify spectral lines and make an abundance
estimation of bismuth. It has been established that
bismuth is present in HR 7775 at an enhancement level of approximately 5 orders of magnitude relative to the meteoritic abundance, consistent with previous
observations in the ultraviolet region of this star. Astrophysical gf values
are presented for a number of
lines.
