Today's Spectrle: what molecule is it?
Clue: it is in @ExoMol and a diatomic

Today's spectrle 😜
What @exomol molecule is this? Hint: it is a diatomic.

A grid of self-consistent MSG (MARCS-StaticWeather-GGchem) cool stellar, sub-stellar, and exoplanetary model atmospheres by Jørgensen eat al.
arxiv.org/abs/2407.09397
(now with lots of @ExoMol line lists 😀)
"By comparing models based on opacities from the limited number of molecules available in 2008 with models based on a more extensive number of molecules available in @ExoMol, we concluded that limitation in the classical 2008-grid did not affect the accuracy of the models"🤔

@exomol tea: Ionospheric irregularities at Jupiter observed by JWST by Melin et al. doi.org/10.1038/s41550-024-0…
"JWST has revealed unexpected and complex emissions structures in the upper atmosphere of Jupiter, above the Great Red Spot."

"Measurements of line strength of the ν1 transitions of OH" by Chang et al . (2023) doi.org/10.1063/5.0176311
"Our absolute line strengths of the OH ν1 transitions are of <10% and they are lower than those in @hitran database by a factor of ∼1.4. " 🤔
