ExoMol is a database of molecular line lists that can be used for spectral characterisation and simulation of astrophysical environments such as exoplanets, brown dwarfs, cool stars and sunspots.{{cite web|title=About ExoMol|url=http://www.exomol.com/|accessdate=12 January 2015}} The project is run by the theoretical molecular physics group of University College London and is led by Jonathan Tennyson.{{cite web|title=ExoMol People|url=http://www.exomol.com/people|accessdate=12 January 2015|archive-url=https://archive.today/20150117171454/http://www.exomol.com/people|archive-date=17 January 2015|url-status=dead}} New line lists for about 30 small molecules of astrophysical interest that currently lack a complete spectroscopic coverage are being generated. The list includes diatomics (e.g., C₂, O₂, AlO, MgH, CaH, FeH), triatomics (e.g., H₂O, H₂S, C₃, SO₂), tetratomics (e.g., PH₃, HOOH, H₂CO) and a few larger molecules (most notably CH₄ and HNO₃).
