The ExoMol database (www. exomol. com) provides molecular data for spectroscopic
studies of hot atmospheres. These data are widely used to model atmospheres of …

Context. Galactic cosmic rays (CRs) play a crucial role in ionisation, dissociation, and
excitation processes within dense cloud regions where UV radiation is absorbed by dust …

The sulfur dimer (S2) is an important molecular constituent in cometary atmospheres and
volcanic plumes on Jupiter's moon Io. It is also expected to play an important role in the …

We investigate the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photodynamics of gas phase 1-and 2-
cyanonaphthalene and cyanobenzene, recently detected in the Taurus molecular cloud, by …

The radiative and photodissociative properties of the dicarbon molecule, C2, in high-lying
electronic states are of utmost importance for modeling the photochemical processes that …

The goal of this white paper is to provide a snapshot of the data availability and data needs
primarily for the Ariel space mission, but also for related atmospheric studies of exoplanets …

We present the results of a molecular survey of long period comets C/2021 A1 (Leonard)
and C/2022 E3 (ZTF). Comet C/2021 A1 was observed with the Institut de radioastronomie …

2-Cyanoindene has recently been identified in the interstellar medium, however current
models cannot fully account for its formation pathways. Herein, we identify and characterize …

The hydroxyl radical (OH) is a species of high importance in exoplanetary studies, the
interstellar medium, and in stellar spectra. Terrestrially, it is a significant component of …

The photodissociation of O 2 is thought to play a vital role in blocking UV radiation in the
Earth's atmosphere and likely has great importance in characterizing exoplanetary …
