-- HAIDER ABBAS | October 23, 2019

Question:

Dear all,

I am interested in molecules detection in interstellar medium. From where, how and which data I can have for these molecules so that their presence in interstellar medium.
Theoretically I have calculated IR, and Vibrational frequencies, dipole moments, and rotational constants of these molecules.

with regards

Answer:

You can find information on the molecules that have been detected and identified in the interstellar medium from several places, including the NIST Recommended Rest Frequencies for Observed Interstellar Molecular Microwave Transitions and the Interstellar and Circumstellar Molecules list.
