Catalogue

The molecular species included in the database are classified in the categories listed below. Many of the categories contain a number of subcategories, which appear after opening a selected category.
Opening a category and/or a subcategory leads to the list of the species belonging to this category/subcategory. Further selecting one of the species leads to the list of the corresponding data files alphabetically sorted by the name of the first author.

The first four columns display the notation

               Structure_Author(Year)_Temperature_Wavelength range.

The fifth column “Information” displays two windows:
Under the rubric “Details” information is provided upon structure and name of the species, author and year, temperature and wavelength range, and the literature reference of the corresponding study. Further additional information is given in many cases under “Comments”.
Under the rubric “Data” the numerical absorption cross sections are presented in ASCII format.
