Experimental results were published by
(1) E. Kagi and K. Kawaguchi,
1997, Astrophys. J. 491, L129.
The 23Na hyperfine split a-type
transition frequencies were also included in the fit.
They were reported by
(2) M. P. Bucchino, P. M. Sheridan, J. P. Young,
M. K. L. Binns, D. W. Ewing, and L. M. Ziurys,
2013, J. Chem. Phys. 139, Art. No. 214307.
The experimental transition frequencies from (1)
were kindly provided by K. Kawaguchi.
23Na HFS splitting may be resolvable at
low values of J and higher values of
Ka, but these transitions are
deemed to be too weak even if the molecule
will have been observed in space. The entry
may be sufficiently accurate for all observational
purposes. Transitions with predicted uncertainties
exceeding 0.2 MHz should be viewed with some caution.
The dipole moment was taken from an ab initio
calculation mentioned in (1). Even though the molecule
posseses a moderately large b-dipole moment
component, no such transitions were calculated because
their frequencies are too uncertain.
