The observed transition frequencies were taken from
(1) M. C. McCarthy and P. Thaddeus, 2002, Astrophys. J. 569, L55;
and from astronomical observations by
(2) R. Fuentetaja, M. Agúndez, C. Cabezas, B. Tercero, N. Marcelino, J. R. Pardo, P. de Vicente, and J. Cernicharo, 2022, Astron. Astrophys. 667, Art. No. L4.
Uncertainties in (1) were conservative for the most part and were changed from 2 to 1 kHz. Uncertainties in (2) were too optimistic and were changed from 10 to 20 kHz to 20 to 50 kHz. Two lines from (1) and one line from (2) with large residuals were omitted from the line list. The parameter set differs slightly from that in (1) and (2). Transitions were limited to J ≤ 40 because of the limited line list. The a-type transitions were truncated at Ka = 10 and b-type transitions at Ka = 2. The calculations are sufficiently accurate for observations of cold sources and may be sufficient for luke-warm sources. Transition frequencies with calculated uncertainties exceeding 0.1 MHz should be viewed with caution.
The calculated values for the dipole moment components was taken from
