Very accurate microwave data were obtained in the course of an observational study by

The transition frequencies are from astronomical observations of oblate paired R-branch transitions with 15 ≤ J ≤ 24 and J – 5 ≤ KcJ. Calculated transition frequencies should be reliable for oblate paired R-branch transitions with J – 5 ≤ KcJ. These are unresolved quartets of lines having the same J and Kc. Calculations of barely resolved quartets may be sufficiently accurate as well, all other transition frequecies should be viewed with great caution. The calculation was truncated at J = 50 and 52 GHz.
The dipole moment components are from a quantum-chemical calculation in (1).
