CONSTANTS FOR MOLECULES OF ASTROPHYSICAL INTEREST
IN THE GAS PHASE: PHOTODISSOCIATION,
MICROWAVE AND INFRARED SPECTRA.


Updated May 2002 (version 4.2).

This "data base" is a compilation of references for molecular data relevant to radio and infrared observations of molecules, radicals and ions of astrophysical interest. Originally intended for the preparation of observations with ISO and maintained for the Herschel and ALMA projects, it may be useful for all kinds of astrophysical observations (from the ground or from space) in the radio and infrared domains.

This compilation presently includes 245 species, representing all (or almost all) molecules detected in the interstellar medium, in comets and in planetary atmospheres (except the Earth), as well as several other molecules, not yet detected, but which are believed to be of astrophysical importance.

This compilation does not include solid state species (ices or minerals), nor the visible and shorter wavelengths spectral domain.

Please read presentation of the data base and downloading instructions in base-readme.txt
