Software

Ab initio calculations

The following software packages are used in the calculation of ExoMol linelists and can be found at the following links within GitHub. A recent description of the ExoMol approach to calculating large molecular line lists is given in ref [1].

  • DVR3D, a code for calculating the rotation-vibration spectra of triatomic molecules [2].
  • Duo, for calculating the energy levels and spectra of diatomic molecules with coupled electronic states [3]. See Duo manual.
  • TROVE, a code for calculating rotation-vibration spectra for general polyatomic systems [4]. 
  • GAIN-MPI: Gpu Accelerated INtensities is a standalone code used to accelerate the calculation of line strengths from TROVE wavefunctions by utilizing MPI and graphics processing units (GPUs) [5].

Utilities and tools

  • exocross is a Fortran code for calculating absorption cross sections from ExoMol linelists [6]. See ExoCross manual.
  • ExoMol_to_HITRAN, a Python code for converting data from ExoMol formatted-files to HITRAN .par format.
  • ExoMol BiBTeX library on github.
