Description
Molecular line data for the rotational transitions of a number of astrophysically interesting species have been collected and are made publically available through the www. These data, including energy levels, statistical weights, Einstein A-coefficients and collisional rate coefficients, are essential input for non-LTE molecular radiative transfer programs. A computer program for performing statistical equilibrium calculations is made publically available for use as well. This database should form an important tool in analyzing observations from current and future infrared and (sub)millimetre telescopes.
