Notes.

(a)

Ortho transitions and their frequencies are indicated in bold face.

(b)

Energies of levels for para-NH3 should be increased by 22 K if put on the common energy scale with ortho-NH3.

(c)

Counted from the reference maximum phase of the light curve, φ = 0 on Julian date JD = 2 454 554, and period of 630 days (Menten et al. 2012).
