Some distortion parameters were estimated.
The calculations were truncated at J = 25, Ka
= 2, and at 180 GHz. The calculations should be sufficient for
observations of cold and dense clouds. Transition frequencies with
Ka = 2 or with calculated uncertainties exceeding
0.15 MHz should be viewed with caution.
The dipole moment is from a quantum-chemical calculation in (1).
