TL;DR: Molecfit as discussed by the authors combines a publicly available radiative transfer code, a molecular line database, atmospheric profiles, and various kernels to model the instrument line spread function and is able to accurately model and correct for telluric lines over a broad range of wavelengths and spectral resolutions.

TL;DR: Molecfit as mentioned in this paper combines a publicly available radiative transfer code, a molecular line database, atmospheric profiles, and various kernels to model the instrument line spread function, taking the best results for temperature, pressure, and humidity in the atmosphere above the observatory into account.

TL;DR: In this article, an atmospheric model was developed as part of the Austrian ESO In-Kind contribution to increase the accuracy of the exposure time calculator of the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) at Cerro Paranal.

TL;DR: In this article, Ruch et al. proposed a method to correct for telluric absorption using atmospheric models, which is performed with the help of model spectra derived from stellar model atmospheres and verified that they provide an appropriate description of the observed standard star spectra by checking for residuals in line cores and lineoverlap regions in the ratios of observed (X-shooter) spectra to model spectras.
