The experimental line list was extended considerably with respect to the first entry from Oct. 2002. While the first entry was sufficient for searches in cold regions, it is not quite enough for seaches in warmer sources. Millimeter and submillimeter data were reported by
(1) H. S. P. Müller, A. Brahmi M., J.-C. Guillemin, F. Lewen, and S. Schlemmer, 2021, Astron. Astrophys. 647, Art. No. A179.
Earlier microwave and millimeter wave data were retained. They were taken from
(2) R. C. Benson, W. H. Flygare, M. Oda, and R. Breslow, 1973, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 95, 2772; and from
(3) J. C. Guillemin, G. Wlodarczak, J. C. Lopez, and J. Demaison, 1990, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 140, 190.
The data should be accurate enough to about 1 THz.
At low temperatures, it may be necessary to discern between ortho-c-H2C3O and para-c-H2C3O. The ortho and para states are described by Ka odd and even, respectively. The nuclear spin-weights are 3 and 1 for ortho-c-H2C3O and para-c-H2C3O, respectively. The JKaKc = 111 level is the lowest ortho level. It is 1.2783 cm–1 above ground.
The dipole moment was determined in (2).
