The profile and the temperature dependence of the blue satellite of the Cs(6S 1/2 -5D 5 ) transition perturbed by a rare gas is studied experimentally. By the use of the Szudy and Baylis (1975) quasimolecular model and various available ground-state potentials the profile of the satellite is calculated and the potential of the excited state is deduced from the fit with the experimental profile. The predicted temperature dependence of the calculation is then compared with experiment and the deviations are discussed.
