The two rotational transitions were reported
by
(1) M. E. Sanz, M. C. McCarthy, and P. Thaddeus,
2002, Astrophys. J. 577, L71.
Some spectroscopic parameters were kept fixed
to values estimated from
(2) S. Thorwirth and M. E. Harding,
2009, J. Chem. Phys. 130, Art. No. 214303.
Transitions obeying b-type selection rules
are possible, but very weak and very uncertain.
Hence, they do not occur in the predictions.
Predictions with hyperfine splitting are also available
up to J" = 2 with related
partition function values.
Predictions with uncertainties exceeding 200 kHz should
be viewed with caution. This should not be a severe restriction
for astronomical observations.
The ab initio dipole moment was taken from (2).
