Methods Documentation

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

A directory of the catalog is found in a file called ‘catdir.cat.’

The table is derived from https://cdms.astro.uni-koeln.de/classic/entries/partition_function.html

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.
molecule : An ASCII name for the species.
#line : The number of lines in the catalog.
lg(Q(n)) : A seven-element vector containing the base 10 logarithm of the partition function.
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.Quantity or None

Minimum frequency (or any spectral() equivalent). None can be interpreted as zero.

max_frequencyastropy.units.Quantity or None

Maximum frequency (or any spectral() equivalent). None can be interpreted as infinite.

min_strengthint, optional

Minimum strength in catalog units, the default is -500

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’.

temperature_for_intensityfloat

The temperature to use when computing the intensity Smu^2. Set to 300 by default for compatibility with JPL and the native catalog format, which defaults to 300. ** If temperature is set to zero, the return value in this column will be the Einstein A value **

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 (see get_species_table) 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

cachebool

Cache the request and, for repeat identical requests, reuse the cache?

Returns:
tableA Table object.
