The ExoMol database: Molecular line lists for exoplanet and other hot atmospheres

TL;DR: The ExoMol database as mentioned in this paper provides extensive line lists of molecular transitions which are valid over extended temperature ranges, including lifetimes of individual states, temperature-dependent cooling functions, Lande g-factors, partition functions, cross sections, k-coefficients and transition dipoles with phase relations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure-based sampling and self-correcting machine learning for accurate calculations of potential energy surfaces and vibrational levels.

TL;DR: In this article, a self-correcting, kernel ridge regression (KRR) based machine learning (ML) was used to generate high-level ab initio potential energy surfaces (PESs) using structure-based sampling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hierarchical machine learning of potential energy surfaces

TL;DR: In this article, a hierarchical machine learning (hML) model is used to estimate energy and energy corrections with a hierarchy of quantum chemical methods, and the optimal training set size and composition of each constituent machine learning model is determined to minimize the computational effort necessary to achieve the required accuracy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accurate ab initio vibrational energies of methyl chloride

TL;DR: It is believed that it would be extremely challenging to go beyond the accuracy currently achieved for CH3Cl without empirical refinement of the respective PESs, and the combined effect of the HL corrections and CBS extrapolation on the vibrational wavenumbers indicates that both are needed to compute accurate theoretical results for methyl chloride.
