The measurements of the lower spin component were
taken from
(1) M. C. McCarthy, A. L. Cooksy, S. Mohamed,
V. D. Gordon, and P. Thaddeus,
2003, Astrophys. J. Suppl. Ser. 144, 287.
The calculation should be viewed with caution
above 60 GHz. In addition, the hyperfine
structure splitting should be viewed with some
caution below 6 GHz.
The partition function takes into account the higher
spin component as far as possible at present.
The dipole moment of the main species is from a
quantum chemical calculation in (1).
