Descripción
New ExoMol line lists AloHa for aluminium hydride (AlH and AlD) are presented improving the previous line lists WYLLoT. The revision is motivated by the recent experimental measurements and astrophysical findings involving the highly excited rotational states of AlH in its A 1Π - X 1Σ+ system. A new high-resolution emission spectrum of 10 bands from the A 1Π - X 1Σ+ system of AlD, in the region 17 300-32 000 cm-1 was recorded with a Fourier transform spectrometer, which probes the predissociative A 1Π v = 2 state. The AlD new line positions are combined with all available experimental data on AlH and AlD to construct a comprehensive set of empirical rovibronic energies of AlH and AlD covering the X 1Σ+ and A 1Π electronic states using the MARVEL approach. We then refine the spectroscopic model WYLLoT to our experimentally derived energies using the nuclear-motion code DUO and use this fit to produce improved line lists for 27AlH, 27AlD, and 26AlH with a better coverage of the rotationally excited states of A 1Π in the predissociative energy region. The lifetimes of the predissociative states are estimated and are included in the line list using the new ExoMol data structure, alongside the temperature-dependent continuum contribution to the photoabsorption spectra of AlH. The new line lists are shown to reproduce the experimental spectra of both AlH and AlD well, and to describe the AlH absorption in the recently reported Proxima Cen spectrum, including the strong predissociative line broadening. The line lists are included into the ExoMol data base www.exomol.com.
