As of Sep. 2023, the frequency range has been extended to 750 GHz, which covers ALMA up to Band 9 and slightly beyond. The version number was retained. This documentation is largely based on the one provided in
(1) M. N. Drozdovskaya, L. H. Coudert, L. Margulès, A. Coutens, J. K. Jørgensen, and S. Manigand, 2022, Astron. Astrophys. 659, Art. No. A69.
The extended catalog entry was provided by L. H. Coudert. The calculation is based on a study that combines rotational and rovibrational data. It is described in detail in

By far the most data are from this work. Additional data were taken from

The quantum numbers are J, K, asymmetry label, and symmetry of the torional state. The asymmetry label describes asymmetric rotor levels with JKaKc = 1 and 0, for the asymmetry labels 1 and 2, respectively. State numbers 0, 1, and 2 refer to the symmetries e0, o1, and e1, respectively.
Please note: Experimental lines have been merged in the present entry. The list of experimental lines with residuals etc. can also be accessed in the catalog archive.
The rotation-torsional part of the partition function is nearly converged. Energies up to J = 40 of the first twelve torsional substates, i.e. up to vt = 3, were taken into account. Small contributions by small amplitude vibrations were omitted. This should be sufficiently accurate up to at least 200 K and still quite good at room temperature.
The dipole moment components were taken from a measurement of CH3OH by

taking into account the different orientations in the internal rotation of CHD2OH.
