Extrapolations to J > 10 should be viewed with caution because of the large centrifugal distortion effects.
The 23Na hyperfine splitting was resolved for the J = 1 – 0 transition only. It may be resolvable for the J = 2 – 1 transitions. The calculated frequencies, uncertainties, and intensities are given below.
