Notes. (a) The entry in the last column refers to the ground-statep-H2O line at 1.13 THz and assume an ortho-to-para ratio of three. (b)The entry in the last column refers to the 532 or the 536 GHz transitions of CH. (c) The entry in the last column refers to the 2 THz transitions of CH. (d)The entry in the last column refers to the 2.5 THz transitions of OH. Weselak et al. (2010) present data for five objects only. (e) Sheffer et al. (2008).

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
