Two additional lower J transition frequencies were taken from astronomical observations by

The D value was kept fixed to the value of the main isopolog scaled by the square of the ratio of the B values. The ¹⁴N-¹³C nuclear spin-nuclear spin coupling parameter was kept fixed to the value in (1). The nuclear spin-rotation parameters were kept fixed to the values from a quantum-chemical calculation by

The calculation may be accurate enough throughout, but some caution is advised.
¹⁴N and possibly ¹³C hyperfine splitting matter in some astronomical observations. Therefore, a separate hyperfine calculation is provided for J' ≤ 5 below 49 GHz. NOTE: The partition function does take into account the spin multiplicity of the ¹⁴N and ¹³C nuclei !
