Notes. Frequency separations (ΔνHF, Cols. 2 and 3) of the four satellite components were calculated using Eq. (B.1). The corresponding velocity separations (ΔVHF) are also reported in Cols. 4 and 5. ams (Col. 6) is the theoretical ratio of the satellite line to the main line strengths calculated using Eqs. (B.2). Fpeak, Fint, and ΔV1/2 were fitted simultaneously for all the hyperfine quadrupole satellite components assuming a Gaussian shape for each of the hyperfine lines. The values reported in the table are average values of the four Gaussians fitted to the HFS satellites. τ (Col. 11) is the line opacity estimated numerically with Eq. (A.1) from Paper I.

(a)

The best-fit parameters for the (9, 9) line come from a fit that allowed the velocity offset of the two hyperfine lines to vary, since for the (9, 9) line only, the fixed-offset hyperfine fit was of poor quality.
