Microwave rest frequencies were obtained from laboratory measurements and from observations of TMC-1 by
(1) J. Cernicharo, C. Cabezas, Y. Endo, M. Agúndez, B. Tercero, J. R. Pardo, N. Marcelino, and P. de Vicente, 2021, Astron. Astrophys. 650, Art. No. L14.
Additional higher order parameters were estimated from the isoelectronic HC2CHS, see e070511.cat.
The calculations are sufficiently accurate for observations of cold and possibly even luke-warm sources. Transition frequencies were trancated in frequency, in J to 32, in Ka to 6 and 3 for a- and b-type transitions, respectively. Transition frequencies with J > 15 or b-type transitions with Ka ≥ 2 should be viewed with great caution.
The 14N hyperfine splitting is resolvable at lower frequencies or at lower quantum numbers. Therefore, a separate calculation with hyperfine structure is available with J up to 15.
The dipole moment is from a quantum-chemical calculation in (1).
