A rovibronic line list for the ground (X3Σ−) and first excited (a1Δ) states of phosphinidene, 31PH, is computed. The line list is designed for studies of exoplanetary and cool stellar atmospheres with temperatures up to 4000 K. A combination of empirical and ab initio data is used to produce the line list: potential energy curves (PECs) are fitted using experimental transition frequencies; these transitions are reproduced with a root mean square error of 0.01 cm−1. The nuclear Schrödinger equation is solved using these PECs plus Born–Oppenheimer and spin splitting correction terms. …

Accurate rotation-vibration line lists for two molecules, NaCl and KCl, in their ground electronic states are presented. These line lists are suitable for temperatures relevant to exoplanetary atmospheres and cool stars (up to 3000 K). Isotopologues 23Na35Cl, 23Na37Cl, 39K35Cl, 39K37Cl, 41K35Cl and 41K37Cl are considered. Laboratory data were used to refine ab initio potential energy curves in order to compute accurate ro-vibrational energy levels. Einstein A coefficients are generated using newly determined ab initio dipole moment curves calculated using the CCSD(T) method. …
Molecular Opacities For Exoplanets, P. F. Bernath
Molecular Opacities For Exoplanets, P. F. Bernath
Chemistry & Biochemistry Faculty Publications
Spectroscopic observations of exoplanets are now possible by transit methods and direct emission. Spectroscopic requirements for exoplanets are reviewed based on existing measurements and model predictions for hot Jupiters and super-Earths. Molecular opacities needed to simulate astronomical observations can be obtained from laboratory measurements, ab initio calculations or a combination of the two approaches. This discussion article focuses mainly on laboratory measurements of hot molecules as needed for exoplanet spectroscopy.
