36. Currently… moleculesisotopologues temperatures (100 – 2500 K) column densities (10 12 – 10 24 cm -2 ) instrument profiles spectra, 0.3 – 3000 micron Spitzer-IRS LowRes1, LowRes2, HiRes ISO-SWS AOT1, speed1; IRTF SpeX, +LowRes VLT-ISAAC LW MedRes content is community-driven

37. Molecular species molecules detected in space most in sub-mm including isotopologues molecules studied in earth atmosphere line lists available at 296 K (HITRAN) often infrared molecules with good line lists (that we have) H 2 O, TiO, SiO, CO, CO 2 Large frequency range Many levels (electronic, vibrational, rotational) High temperatures

38. Needs & future prospects More / better line lists Need line lists for more species Availability is the only limit! Funding This project is 0% funded Observatories Spitzer (now), soon SOFIA, Herschel, ALMA, … Features Solid state, sub-mm, manipulation, fits, emission, obs. upload, line profiles, wdsr
