How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T2272247 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Target entity: Herzberg trilogy on molecular spectra Context triple: [Gerhard Herzberg, notableWork, Herzberg trilogy on molecular spectra]
-
A.
Theory of Atomic Spectra (1935)
Theory of Atomic Spectra (1935) is a foundational physics monograph by Edward Condon that systematically develops the quantum-mechanical theory underlying atomic spectral lines and their structure.
-
B.
Herzberg–Teller approximation
The Herzberg–Teller approximation is a refinement in molecular spectroscopy that accounts for vibronic coupling by allowing electronic transition dipole moments to depend on nuclear coordinates, explaining intensity in otherwise forbidden transitions.
-
C.
Atombau und Spektrallinien
*Atombau und Spektrallinien* is Arnold Sommerfeld’s influential textbook on atomic structure and spectral lines that helped shape the development of early quantum theory.
-
D.
Kirchhoff's three laws of spectroscopy
Kirchhoff's three laws of spectroscopy are foundational principles in physics that explain how continuous, emission, and absorption spectra arise from interactions between matter and radiation.
-
E.
Longuet-Higgins theorem in molecular symmetry
The Longuet-Higgins theorem in molecular symmetry is a fundamental result in theoretical chemistry that relates molecular symmetry properties to electronic state degeneracies and the occurrence of phenomena such as the Jahn–Teller effect.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
