“…The atmospheric properties of these objects are known to be strongly influenced by the spectra of the molecules they contain. On Earth, spectra of hot molecules are observed in flames [4,5], discharge plasmas [6,7], explosions [8] and in the hot gases emitted, for example, from smoke stacks [9]. In addition, high-lying states can be important in non local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) environments both in space, for example, emissions observed from comets [10,11], and on Earth.…”
