We demonstrate in this Comment that the quantum mechanical absorption spectrum of the Hartley band of ozone, calculated using the diabatic B state potential energy surface constructed from the ab initio data of the title paper, is strongly structured. This result, which is in agreement with previous theoretical studies of the Hartley band, contradicts the findings of Baloïtcha and Balint-Kurti and questions the accuracy of their calculations
