Notes. Spectroscopic parameters are taken from the CDMS database (Müller et al. 2005; Endres et al. 2016). (a) Redshifted frequency in the heliocentric rest frame, where the redshift z = o.88582 is set. (b) We assume a total column density Ncol(O) + Ncol(P) = 2 × 10l2 cm−2, an ortho-to-para ratio OPR = 3, and a Gaussian profile with a FWHM linewidth of 20 km s−1 to calculate the line peak opacity τ under LTE. (c) The coefficient αLTE is defined as Ncol(O, P) = αLTE × ∫ τdv. (d) Example of non-LTE excitation with guessed collision rates at Tk = 100 K, n(H2) = 1000 cm−3, Tform = 300 K, destruction rate 9.5 × 10−7 s−1, total column density 7.5 × 1012 cm−2, FWHM = 20 km s−1. (e) The ground-state level of ortho is 3.1 K higher than that of the para form (see Fig. A.2). (f) Detected in this work.
