Accidentally large hyperfine splitting at higher values
of N are possibly not fully accounted for by the
present data set.
Accordingly, these predictions should be viewed with a grain of salt.
The dipole moment was taken from an ab initio
calculation by

1995, J. Phys. Chem. 99, 11095.
Transitions with b-type selection rules are allowed, but
have not been measured yet.
Hence, they cannot be predicted reliably.
