Abstract (from CDS):

New measurements of nitrosomethane (CH3NO), a formamide isomer, were done up to 660 GHz. The molecule exhibits internal rotation motion from the CH3 group, and therefore the analysis with a dedicated rho-axis method code, RAM36, was used. A total of 2035 lines for vt = 0 and 1 states of A and E symmetries were fitted with an rms deviation of 41.1 kHz, with the maximum quantum numbers values J = 30 and Ka = 15. Using these new data, CH3NO was searched in the cold dark cloud Taurus Molecular Cloud 1 as well as the high mass star-forming regions Sgr B2(N) and NGC 6334I. CH3NO was not observed in any of the sources, 3σ column density upper limits were determined, and we discuss the implications for the chemistry of CH3NO in the interstellar medium. The accurate spectroscopic prediction of its spectra provided in this work will allow astronomers to continue the search of CH3NO in other interstellar sources.
