We perform precision microwave spectroscopy—aided by Stark deceleration—to reveal the low-magnetic-field behavior of OH in its 2 3/2 rovibronic ground state, identifying two field-insensitive hyperfine transitions suitable as qubits and determining a differential Landé g factor of 1.267(5)×10−3 between opposite-parity components of the doublet. The data are successfully modeled with an effective hyperfine Zeeman Hamiltonian, which we use to make a tenfold improvement of the magnetically sensitive, astrophysically important F=±1 satellite-line frequencies, yielding 1 720 529 887(10) Hz and 1 612 230 825(15) Hz.
