New laboratory data were included with respect to the third entry of Mar. 2015. These data were reported by
(1) C. Baddeliyanage, J. Karner, S. P. Melath, W. G. D. P. Silva, S. Schlemmer, and O. Asvany, 2025, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 407, Art. No. 111978.
These data constrain the C3H+ rest frequencies very well. The initial data were retained for consistency reasons. They are from astronomical observations by

.
The estimated uncertainties appear to be too optimistic. All values have been increased essentially uniformly by a factor of 1.7 to achieve an rms error of slightly smaller than 1.0. With respect to the first entry of Nov. 2012, additional laboratory data were included which were reported by
(3) S. Brünken, L. Kluge, A. Stoffels, O. Asvany, and S. Schlemmer, 2014, Astrophys. J. 783, Art. No. L4.
With respect to the second entry of Feb. 2014, additional laboratory data were included from
(4) M. C. McCarthy, K. N. Crabtree, M.-A. Martin-Drumel, O. Martinez, Jr., B. A. McGuire, and C. A. Gottlieb, 2015, Astrophys. J. Suppl. Ser. 217, Art. No. 10;
as well as rest frequencies from astronomical observations between 200 and 300 GHz from
(5) S. Cuadrado, J. R. Goicoechea, P. Pilleri, J. Cernicharo, A. Fuente, and C. Joblin, 2015, Astron. Astrophys. 575, Art. No. A82.
The calculated transition frequencies are accurate enough at least up to 400 GHz, possibly 450 GHz.
A dipole moment was reported in (2) from a quantum chemical calculation.
