Notes. The approximate center frequency is listed for those transitions that are not resolved given the spectroscopic resolution of the astronomical observations. Each of these lines consists of two a-type and two b-type transitions (for example, 15*,15 − 14*,14 refers to the following 4 transitions: 150,15−141,14, 151,15 − 141,14, 151,15 − 140,14 and 151,15 − 141,14 that are nearly frequency coincident). The listed Sijμ2 value is the sum of all four transitions in each group. This coincidence is indicated by the asterisk substituted for the Ka quantum number. The total partition functions and column densities were calculated at the measured temperature of each source as listed in Table 3.
