Approximately 2000 new transitions have been added to the recommended rest
frequency table, which now lists more than 12000 entries This report updates the
previous summaries, provides a current source of radio-astronomical molecular
line observations, and improves the accuracy for many previously tabulated
transition frequencies, important for determining physical properties of the
molecular clouds investigated. A few minor corrections were made for some of the references. |

Approximately 5600 new transitions and 31 new molecular species have
been added to this tabulation, which now lists more than 10,100 entries.
This report updates the previous summaries, provides a current source
of radio-astronomical molecular line observations, and improves the
accuracy for many previously tabulated transition frequencies,
important for determining physical properties of the molecular clouds
investigated. (Update based on the above March 2004 JPCRD journal publication.) |
