Zeros as kilohertz digits got lost for the reported transition frequencies. The reported value of HKJ is too small by a factor of 1000. The reported uncertainties appear to be conservative, corresponding essentially to 2 σ values. Nevertheless, predictions with uncertainties larger than 0.3 MHz should be viewed with caution. The data set is deemed to be sufficient for observational purposes.
The dipole moment is from an ab initio calculation by

At low temperatures, it may be necessary to discern between ortho-H2SiS and para-H2SiS. The ortho and para states are described by Ka being odd and even, respectively. The nuclear spin-weights are 3 and 1 for ortho-H2SiS and para-H2SiS, respectively. The JKaKc = 111 is the lowest ortho state. It is 5.9371 cm–1 above ground.
Separate para and ortho predictions are available up to J = 12 and Ka = 3 along with separate para and ortho partition function values. Note: the spin-weight of 3 for the separate ortho predictions has been eliminated.
