The observed transitions cover N between 8 and 21. Extrapolations to much lower or higher quantum numbers should be taken with some care. Furthermore, for low N transitions the 23Na hyperfine splitting may be resolvable.
With respect to the Oct. 2002 entry, an ab initio dipole moment was used in the predictions. It was reported in
(2) S. Midda and A. K. Das, 2004, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 224, 1.
