ExoMol

ExoMol is a database of molecular line lists that can be used for spectral characterisation and simulation of astrophysical environments such as exoplanets, brown dwarfs, cool stars and sunspots.^[1] The project is run by the theoretical molecular physics group of University College London and is led by Jonathan Tennyson.^[2] New line lists for about 30 small molecules of astrophysical interest that currently lack a complete spectroscopic coverage are being generated. The list includes diatomics (e.g., C₂, O₂, AlO, MgH, CaH, FeH), triatomics (e.g., H₂0, H₂S, C₃, SO₂), tetratomics (e.g., PH₃, HOOH, H₂CO) and a few larger molecules (most notably CH₄ and HNO₃).
