Magneto-optical spectroscopy provides a glimpse into the hidden electronic structure of molecules and materials that normally cannot be resolved with regular optical absorption spectroscopy. The magneto-optical signal is difficult to simulate computationally due to the necessity of modeling perturbations from both uniform magnetic and oscillating electric fields. In this work, we introduce a time-dependent complex generalized Hartree-Fock framework for calculating electronic magneto-optical spectra of atomic and molecular systems. Complexvalued gauge including atomic orbitals are used in a nonperturbative treatment of the uniform magnetic field. The magneto-photoabsorption spectra of atomic alkalis and aromatic systems are investigated with a focus on understanding how spectroscopic signals change in the presence of a uniform magnetic field.
