The millimeter lines are from R. Mollaaghababa, C. A. Gottlieb, J. M. Vrtilek,
and P. Thaddeus, 1990, Astrophys. J. Lett. Ed. {\bf 352}, L21-23. The dipole
moment is a theoretical one. (See ground state species.) The partition functions
are based on a sum of states for the ground and first vibrationally excited 
state.  The spectra were fitted to a Hunds case (b) Hamiltonian. The 
correlation of states in case (b) with those for case (a) are:

N = J $+$ 1  &$\Omega$ = 1\\
N = J $-$ 1 & $\Omega$ = 2\\
