Data of several vibrational states and isotopologs were fit together. Ground state rotational transition frequencies of the main isotopic species were reported by
(1) T. Törring and R. Herrmann, 1989, Mol. Phys. 68, 1379;
and by
(2) C. Yamada, E. A. Cohen, M. Fujitake, and E. Hirota, 1990, J. Chem. Phys. 92, 2146.
Data within the first two excited vibrational states were taken from
(3) M. Goto, S. Takano, S. Yamamoto, H. Ito, and S. Saito, 1994, Chem. Phys. Lett. 227, 287.
Ground state data of the 18O isotopolog were taken from
(4) A. A. Breier, B. Waßmuth, T. Büchling, G. W. Fuchs, J. Gauss, and T. F. Giesen, 2018, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 350, 43.
A small number of lines with large residuals were omitted. The spectroscopic parameters differ somewhat from earlier published values, including the combined fit in (4). The 17O hyperfine parameters were derived from a matrix ESR measurement by
(5) L. B. Knight and W. Weltner, 1971, J. Chem. Phys. 55, 5066;
and from quantum-chemical calculations by
(6) H. S. P. Müller, 2019, unpublished.
The calculated transitions should be accurate enough for all observational purposes. Some caution may be advised above 720 GHz or for HFS components with calculated uncertainties larger than 0.5 MHz. 27Al and 17O hyperfine splitting may be resolvable, in particular at low J. Therefore, a separate hyperfine calculation is provided for frequencies below 500 GHz. Please note that a sequential coupling scheme was employed.
The first 30 vibrational states were included in the calculation of partition function values. The spin multiplicity of 36 for 27Al and 17O was considered in the entry without HFS splitting.
The ground state dipole moment from a quantum-chemical calculation for the main isotopolog was reported by
(7) A. T. Patrascu, S. N. Yurchenko, and J. Tennyson, 2015, Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 449, 3613.
