Fourier transform microwave transitions with 14N and D hyperfine splitting was published in
(1) Y. Hirahara, Y. Ohshima, Y. Endo, 1993, Astrophys. J. 403, L83.
Two additional lower J transition frequencies were taken from astronomical observations by

The D value was estimated.
The calculation may be accurate enough throughout; some caution, however, is advised.
14N and possibly D hyperfine splitting matter in some astronomical observations. Therefore, a separate hyperfine calculation is provided for J' ≤ 5 below 45 GHz. NOTE: The partition function does take into account the spin multiplicity of the 14N and D nuclei !
The dipole moment of the main isotopolog is from a quantum chemical calculation by
