Rotational spectroscopy of isotopic species of methyl mercaptan at
  millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths: CH$_3$$^{34}$SH
  Methyl mercaptan (CH$_3$SH) is an important sulfur-bearing species in the
interstellar medium, terrestrial environment, and potentially in planetary
atmospheres. The aim of the present study is to provide accurate spectroscopic
parameters for the most abundant minor isotopolog CH$_3$$^{34}$SH to support
radio astronomical observations at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths.
The rotational spectrum of CH$_3$$^{34}$SH, which is complicated by the
large-amplitude internal rotation of the CH$_3$ group versus the $^{34}$SH
frame, was investigated in the 49$-$510 GHz and 1.1$-$1.5 THz frequency ranges
in natural isotopic abundance. The analysis of the spectrum was performed up to
the second excited torsional state, and the obtained data were modeled with the
RAM36 program. A fit within experimental accuracy was obtained with a RAM
Hamiltonian model that uses 72 parameters. Predictions based on this fit are
used to search for CH$_3$$^{34}$SH with the Atacama Large
Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) toward the hot molecular core Sgr B2(N2),
but blends with emission lines of other species prevent its firm identification
in this source.
