The observed frequencies and the theoretical value for the dipole moment were taken from
(1) P. Botschwina, Ä. Heyl, W. Chen, M. C. McCarthy, J.-U. Grabow, M. J. Travers, and P. Thaddeus, 1998, J. Chem. Phys. 109, 3108.
With respect to the first entry of May 2001, rest frequencies from astronomical observations were added. These were provided by

The small 14N hyperfine splitting has been resolved in the laboratory experiments.
The calculations should be accurate enough for all observations. They should be viewed with caution if the calculated uncertainties are larger than 0.1 MHz.
14N hyperfine splitting may matter in astronomical observations. Therefore, a separate hyperfine calculation is provided for J' ≤ 14 below 40 GHz. NOTE: The partition function does take into account the spin multiplicity of the 14N nucleus !
