Information and Strategies of Molecular Diatomic Spectroscopy Data

PHYSICS

The spectroscopy of diatomic molecules is an important research area in chemical physics due to its relevance in astro chemistry, combustion chemistry, and ultra-cold physics. However, there is currently no database where the user can easily retrieve, in a useful format, the spectroscopic constants of a given molecule. Spectroscopy is an important tool in the study of atoms and molecules, giving us an understanding of their quantized energy levels. This paper provides information and strategies to strengthen the connection between data producers (e.g. ab initio electronic structure theorists and experimental spectroscopists), data modelers (e.g. line list creators and others who connect data on one aspect of the molecule to the full energetic and spectroscopic description) and data users (astronomers, chemical physicists etc).
