Scientific paper
Laboratory and space observations of a number of mm-wave rotation lines in the previously unobserved 3Pi electronic ground state of the SiC radical are discussed. Laboratory-derived frequencies, accurate to better than 0.1 ppm, are used to obtain a highly precise determination of the fine structure, rotational, centrifugal distortion, and Lambda-doubling constants of the SiC ground state. It is found that SiC is appreciably extended toward IRC+10216, with a diameter of at least 54 arcsec.
