ExoMol molecular line lists: IX The spectrum of AlO

Astrophysics of Galaxies 2015-04-14 v1 Solar and Stellar Astrophysics Chemical Physics

Abstract

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 main isotopologue, 27^{27}Al16^{16}O, as well as for 27^{27}Al17^{17}O, 27^{27}Al18^{18}O and 26^{26}Al16^{16}O. 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 \textit{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 {\it 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 \url{www.exomol.com}.
