Notes. (ng) Non-Gaussian profile. The line intensity is obtained by integrating the area below the profile.

(*)

Observed with Herschel/HIFI.

(a)

Frequencies are from the JPL molecular database (Pickett et al. 1998), and from the CDMS database (Müller et al. 2001) for N2H+.

(b)

The line properties quoted for the N2H+ 1–0 and 3–2 transitions refer to the brightest of their 15 and 45 hyperfine components, i.e. the F1, F = 2, 3–1, 2 and the F1, F = 4,5–3, 4 components, respectively. The line intensity is integrated over all the components.

(c)

The transitions of HOCO+ are characterized by the quantum numbers J, which is the total angular momentum, and K-1,K1, which are the angular momenta around the molecule’s symmetry axis.

(d)

SO+ is a reactive radical with ground state, whose spin-doubled rotational transitions, characterized by the quantum number J, are further split by Λ-type doubling.
