The entry is based on

The study combines rotational and rovibrational data pertaining to vt = 0 and 1 plus some low energy K transitions of vt = 2. By far the most data are from this work. A small amount of transitions in vt = 0 below 36 GHz are from

Also used in the fit were far-infrared transition frequencies from

The entry provides 17O hyperfine splitting throughout, even though most of the lines are probably not resolved in astronomical spectra. However, many of the particularly important low energy transitions may be resolved.
The quantum numbers are J, Ka, Kc, m, and F. The values 0 and 1 of m correspond to A and E symmetry lines, respectively, of vt = 0. The sign of Ka (with "+" omitted") reflects the parity for A symmetry states and the usual signs of K values in degenerate vibrational states for E symmetry states.
The calculated frequencies should be reliable throughout; some caution is advised for transitions reaching the limit of J (50) or Ka (17).
Please note: No experimental lines have been merged in the present entry. The list of experimental lines (with reference labels) can be accessed in the Cologne Spectroscopy Data section. The rotation-torsional part of the partition function is converged. Very small contributions by small amplitude vibrations have been omitted. Please note the mostly non-standard temperatures. These were evaluated by replacing gN with gF and with gI = 1; the line strength of an unresolved line was distributed over the hyperfine components.
The dipole moment components are averages from measurements of CH316OH by

the remainder of the dipole moment function was taken from
