Abstract
The rotational absorption frequencies of 68 new lines from the HCO radical in its ground electronic state have been measured in the millimeter and submillimeter spectral region. The large zero-field data set acquired has allowed the complex spectrum of this light asymmetric rotor with unpaired electronic spin and magnetic hyperfine interactions to be completely analyzed to within experimental accuracy (<0.1 MHz) for the first time. The wide range of states observed provides a highly accurate map of the rotational frequencies of the formyl radical, which should enable the abundance and excitation of interstellar HCO to be examined in detail.
