EXOCROSS: a general program for generating spectra from molecular line lists

TLDR
ExoCross as mentioned in this paper is a Fortran code for generating spectra (emission, absorption) and thermodynamic properties (partition function, specific heat etc.) from molecular line lists.
Abstract
ExoCross is a Fortran code for generating spectra (emission, absorption) and thermodynamic properties (partition function, specific heat etc.) from molecular line lists. Input is taken in several formats, including ExoMol and HITRAN formats. ExoCross is efficiently parallelized showing also a high degree of vectorization. It can work with several line profiles such as Doppler, Lorentzian and Voigt and support several broadening schemes. Voigt profiles are handled by several methods allowing fast and accurate simulations. Two of these methods are new. ExoCross is also capable of working with the recently proposed method of super-lines. It supports calculations of lifetimes, cooling functions, specific heats and other properties. ExoCross can be used to convert between different formats, such as HITRAN, ExoMol and Phoenix. It is capable of simulating non-LTE spectra using a simple two-temperature approach. Different electronic, vibronic or vibrational bands can be simulated separately using an efficient filtering scheme based on the quantum numbers.

Retrieval analysis of 38 WFC3 transmission spectra and resolution of the normalization degeneracy

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive analysis of 38 previously published Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) transmission spectra is performed using a hierarchy of nested sampling retrievals: with versus without clouds, grey versus non-grey clouds, isothermal versus nonisothermal transit chords, and with water, hydrogen cyanide, and/or ammonia.

HITEMP, the high-temperature molecular spectroscopic database

TL;DR: In this paper, a new molecular spectroscopic database for high-temperature modeling of the spectra of molecules in the gas phase is described, called HITEMP, which is analogous to the HITRAN database but encompasses many more bands and transitions than HitRAN for the absorbers H2O, CO2, CO, NO and OH.
