Welcome to the ExoMol website!

The ExoMol format is described in our article, The ExoMol database: Molecular line lists for exoplanet and other hot atmospheres. The database can be navigated from the data page.

ExoMol is a database of molecular line lists that can be used for spectral characterisation and simulation, and as input to atmospheric models of exoplanets, brown dwarfs and cool stars, and other models including those for combustion and sunspots.

PhD positions at ExoMol 

The ExoMol team at UCL is the world leader in providing spectroscopic data for the characterisation and modelling of exoplanets and other hot atmospheres, see www.exomol.com. The ERC funded ExoMolHD project is dedicated to providing high quality spectroscopic data.
A PhD studentship is available to  provide molecular data for key molecules important for spectroscopic analysis of atmospheric properties of exoplanets  (EU nationals only). 
Informal enquiries should be made to Prof Jonathan  Tennyson (j.tennyson@ucl.ac.uk) or  Prof Sergey Yurchenko (s.yurchenko@ucl.ac.uk)

Research Fellow positions
Two postdoctoral positions in Theoretical Molecular https://tinyurl.com/ExoMolHD-PDRA are available to undertake the following tasks:
    a) provide precise wavelengths for key molecules applicable for use in high resolution spectroscopic studies performed by telescopes using high resolution instruments;
    b) predict accurate spectroscopic data on key isotopically-substituted species;
    c) provide temperature-dependent pressure shifts and pressure broadening parameters;
    d) compute photodissociation cross sections and photolysis rates both in and outside thermodynamic equilibrium and
    e) develop appropriate database structures, including detailed opacities, k-tables and precomputed atmospheric models. We will act to ensure the widest possible utilisation of the data.
 
The closing date for applications for all positions is 22 June 2020.
