  1. Rotational temperatures (Trot) are estimated with the model described by Eq. (7) (see text) taking into account the experimental predissociation lifetimes (τ) and their error bars. The upper and lower error bars of Trot are obtained when considering the upper and lower values of the predissociation lifetimes τ.
