Notes. All spectroscopic data are taken from JPL. . .

(a)

The highest error in frequency is 0.1 MHz for the 1764 GHz lines.

(b)

Lower state energies.

(c)

Upper state energies.

(d)

The Einstein coefficient for spontaneous emission Aul.

(e)

Critical density, Aul/Cul, where Cul is the collision coefficient evaluated for 50 K.

(f)

Ratio of lower and upper state degeneracies.

(g)

The Herschel half power beam width at respective frequency (Mueller et al. 2014)

(h)

The main beam efficiency (Mueller et al. 2014).

(i)

The observed SSB continuum intensity not corrected for main beam efficiency.

(j)

The rms noise relative to TC
