Methods Summary

get_species_table([catfile])

A directory of the catalog is found in a file called 'catdir.cat.' Each element of this directory is an 80-character record with the following format:

query_lines(*args, **kwargs)

Queries the service and returns a table object.

query_lines_async(min_frequency, max_frequency)

Creates an HTTP POST request based on the desired parameters and returns a response.

Methods Documentation

get_species_table(catfile='catdir.cat')[source]

A directory of the catalog is found in a file called ‘catdir.cat.’ Each element of this directory is an 80-character record with the following format:

TAG, NAME, NLINE, QLOG, VER
(I6,X, A13, I6, 7F7.4, I2)
Parameters:
catfilestr, name of file, default ‘catdir.cat’

The catalog file, installed locally along with the package

Returns:
Table: Table
TAG : The species tag or molecular identifier.
NAME : An ASCII name for the species.
NLINE : The number of lines in the catalog.
QLOG : A seven-element vector containing the base 10 logarithm of the partition function for temperatures of 300 K, 225 K, 150 K, 75 K, 37.5 K, 18.75 K, and 9.375 K, respectively.
VER : The version of the calculation for this species in the catalog. The version number is followed by * if the entry is newer than the last edition of the catalog.
query_lines(*args, **kwargs)

Queries the service and returns a table object.

Creates an HTTP POST request based on the desired parameters and returns a response.

Parameters:
min_frequencyastropy.units

Minimum frequency (or any spectral() equivalent)

max_frequencyastropy.units

Maximum frequency (or any spectral() equivalent)

min_strengthint, optional

Minimum strength in catalog units, the default is -500

max_linesint, optional

Maximum number of lines to query, the default is 2000. The most the query allows is 100000

moleculelist, string of regex if parse_name_locally=True, optional

Identifiers of the molecules to search for. If this parameter is not provided the search will match any species. Default is ‘All’.

flagsint, optional

Regular expression flags. Default is set to 0

parse_name_locallybool, optional

When set to True it allows the method to parse through catdir.cat in order to match the regex inputted in the molecule parameter and request the corresponding tags of the matches instead. Default is set to False

get_query_payloadbool, optional

When set to True the method should return the HTTP request parameters as a dict. Default value is set to False

Returns:
tableA Table object.

Examples

...                             min_strength=-500, molecule=18003)
