Constraints on the molecular properties of interstellar X-ogen derived from radio observations

Twenty-eight X-ogen emission sources at 89.189 GHz have been detected and observed. Twenty of these are new X-ogen sources which also contain other interstellar molecules. No infrared stars are found to be X-ogen sources. A new rest frequency (89,188.65 MHz) is derived for X-ogen. It is shown that X-ogen is not SiC, C2H, or any molecule with spin-doubling, hyperfine structure, or both.
