ExoMol molecular line lists: IX The spectrum of AlO
MRNAS 2015

A.T. Patrascu, S. N. Yurchenko and J. Tennyson 

Accurate line lists are calculated for aluminium monoxide covering the pure
rotation, rotation-vibration and electronic (B - X blue-green and A - X
infrared bands) spectrum.  Line lists are presented for the four isotopologues
of AlO. These line lists are suitable for high temperatures (up to 8000 K)
including those relevant to exoplanetary atmospheres and cool stars. A
combination of empirical and ab initio methods is used: the potential energy
curves were previously determined to high accuracy by fitting to extensive data
from analysis of laboratory spectra; a high quality ab initio dipole moment
curve is calculated using quadruple zeta basis set and the multi-reference
configuration interaction (MRCI) method. Partition functions plus full line
lists of transitions are made available in an electronic form as supplementary
data to this article and at www.exomol.com.


Description:

The data for each isotopologue are in two parts. The first, .states contains a
list of rovibronic states. Each state is labelled with the total angular
momentum, state degeneracy, total parity, vibrational quantum number,
projection of the electronic, spin and total angular momenta. Each state has a
unique number, which is the number of the row in which it appears in the file.
This number is the means by which the state is related to the second part of
the data system, the transitions files.

The transition files contain three columns: the reference number in the energy
file of the upper state; that of the lower state; and the Einstein A
coefficient of the transition.

Partition functions for each isotopologue from 10 - 9000 K in steps of 10 K are 
also provided in .pf files and consist of two columns (T/K followed by Q). 

A sample programme to generate synthetic spectra from the ExoMol format line
lists can be obtained at www.exomol.com.
