The analysis and most of the measurements were presented by
(1) O. Zakharenko, F. Lewen, V. V. Ilyushin, M. N. Drozdovskaya, J. K. Jørgensen, S. Schlemmer, and H. S. P. Müller, 2019, Astron. Astrophys. 621, Art. No. A114.
Transition frequencies below 117 GHz were contributed by

Experimental microwave and millimeter-wave transition frequencies have not been merged. The list with reference labels can be accessed in the Cologne Spectroscopy Data section.
The calculated frequencies should be reliable for all observational purposes. Transition frequencies with calculated uncertainties exceeding 0.1 MHz should be viewed with caution.
Please note that the vibrational identifiers correspond in the present calculation to the torsional quantum number m. The values 0 and 1 correspond to A and E symmetry lines, respectively, of vt = 0. The corresponding values for vt = 1 are –3 and –2, those for vt = 2 are 3 and 4. The signs of Ka designate the parity for A symmetry lines; for E symmetry lines, they designate in the picture of a degenerate state of a symmetric rotor.
Lower state energies are given referenced to the J = K = 0, A, vt = 0 level, which is about 112 cm–1 above the bottom of the torsional potential well.
Please note that the partition function was scaled from that of the main isotopic spcies.
The experimental ground state dipole moment was determined in (2).
