ABSTRACT: We report in this paper energy positions of the 2D0_2s22p2(1D)nd(2F); 2D0_2s22p2(1D)nd(2D); 2D0_2s22p2(1D)nd(2P); 2D0_2s22p2(1D)ns(2D); 2D0_2s22p3(3D)np(2P); 2D0_2s22p3(3D0)np(2F), and 4S0_2s22p3(5S0)np(4P) Rydberg series in the photoionization spectra originating from 2D0 and 4S0 metastable states of O+ ion. Calculations are performed up to n = 20 using the Modified Orbital Atomic Theory (MAOT) [1]. The present results are compared to the experimental data of Aguilar et al. [2] which are the only available values. The accurate data presented in this work may be a useful guideline for future experimental and other theoretical studies.
