TauREx Input Folder

The Input folder is not shipped with the GitHub repository but must be added manually. It can be obtained from here or here and has a permanent DOI: DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/HN8UK.

It contains absorption cross sections, correlated k-coefficients, stellar spectra (for emission models), rayleigh, cia and mie coefficients.

Layout

This is the default layout of the folder. All paths are specified in the parameter file, so the layout can vary.

Completeness

Some parts of the folder are not very complete, e.g. the number of molecules available aas ktables or cross-sections falls woefully short of what HITRAN and ExoMol have to offer. As part of this project, we are generating new cross sections and aiming for a complete set with ExoMol. If however you require cross sections immediately, please contact us (ingo@star.ucl.ac.uk) and let us know.
