While 23Na and 14N hyperfine splitting was resolved in the laboratory, it is probably not important for observational purposes. Nevertheless, a separate calculation with Na and N hyperfine splitting is available for J" ≤ 5 along with adjusted partition function values.
The calculations should be quite reliable up to at least 50 GHz.
The dipole moment was taken from a quantum chemical calculation in (1).
