Notes. a The NH3 experimental line frequencies and upper-level energies are retrieved from the calculations and compilations by Yu et al. (2010). Code for original references are given in the last column. These values are the same as those in the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) catalogue (Pickett et al. 1998). The numbers shown in parentheses are the uncertainties corresponding to the last digit(s) of the quoted frequencies. The line frequencies are generally consistent with previous calculations by Poynter & Margolis (1983), except for 20 (a )–10(s) near 1214.9 GHz where the difference is about 6 MHz (~1.4 km s−1).

Notes. b Eupk, the upper energy level in K.
