AB - <jats:p>Molecules containing a lanthanide atom have sets of electronic states arising from excitation of an inner-shell electron. These states have received little attention but are thought to play an important role in laser cooling of such molecules and may be a useful resource for testing fundamental physics. We study a series of inner-shell excited states in YbF using resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization spectroscopy. We investigate the excited states of lowest energy, 8474, 9013, and <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><a:mn>9090</a:mn><a:mtext> </a:mtext><a:mtext> </a:mtext><a:msup><a:mrow><a:mi>cm</a:mi></a:mrow><a:mrow><a:mo>−</a:mo><a:mn>1</a:mn></a:mrow></a:msup></a:math> above the ground state, all corresponding to the configuration <c:math xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><c:mrow><c:mn>4</c:mn><c:msup><c:mrow><c:mi>f</c:mi></c:mrow><c:mrow><c:mn>13</c:mn></c:mrow></c:msup><c:mn>6</c:mn><c:msup><c:mrow><c:mi>s</c:mi></c:mrow><c:mrow><c:mn>2</c:mn></c:mrow></c:msup><c:mtext> </c:mtext><c:mtext> </c:mtext><c:msub><c:mrow><c:mmultiscripts><c:mrow><c:mi>F</c:mi></c:mrow><c:mprescripts/><c:none/><c:mrow><c:mn>2</c:mn></c:mrow></c:mmultiscripts></c:mrow><c:mrow><c:mn>7</c:mn><c:mo>/</c:mo><c:mn>2</c:mn></c:mrow></c:msub></c:mrow></c:math> of the <e:math xmlns:e="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><e:mrow><e:msup>&l
