In astrophysics, as in all research fields in which molecular spectra play important roles, there has been a continuing need for compendia of information on individual band systems. Firstly there is a requirement by observers and experimenters for aids to definitive identification of observed spectral features. Secondly there are needs by observers, by those who make diagnostic interpretations of spectral profiles, and also by theorists, for definitive critical compilations of appropriate molecular data with reference to the relevant literature. The continued popularity of various editions to Pearse and Gaydon’s Identification of Molecular Spectra (1) and to Huber and Herzberg’s Constants of Diatomic Molecules (2) are clear evidence of this.
