The fit has been carried out using constants and quantum numbers of Hund's case (b). The prediction of the 1H hyperfine splitting for the high lying Π3/2 substate should be viewed with some caution because no low N transition with resolved hyperfine splitting has been observed for this substate.
The dipole moment is from an ab initio calculation mentioned in (1).
Please note that there are quantum chemical calculations suggesting a much smaller dipole moment of 0.98 D. This causes intensities to be lower by a factor of 2.0. See e.g.
