The ExoMol database (www.exomol.com) provides molecular data for spectroscopic studies of hot atmospheres. While the data is intended for studies of exoplanets and other astronomical bodies, the dataset is widely applicable. The basic form of the database is extensive line lists; these are supplemented with partition functions, state lifetimes, cooling functions, Lande g-factors, temperature-dependent cross sections, opacities, pressure broadening parameters, $k$-coefficients and dipoles. This paper presents the latest release of the database which has been expanded to consider 80 molecules and 190 isotopologues totaling over 700 billion transitions. While the spectroscopic data is concentrated at infrared and visible wavelengths, ultraviolet transitions are being increasingly considered in response to requests from observers. The core of the database comes from the ExoMol project which primarily uses theoretical methods, albeit usually fine-tuned to reproduce laboratory spectra, to generate very extensive line lists for studies of hot bodies. The data has recently been supplemented by line lists deriving from direct laboratory observations, albeit usually with the use of ab initio transition intensities. A major push in the new release is towards accurate characterisation of transition frequencies for use in high resolution studies of exoplanets and other bodies.

Comprehensive line lists for phosphorus monoxide ($^{31}$P$^{16}$O) and phosphorus monosulphide ($^{31}$P$^{32}$S) in their $X$ $^2Pi$ electronic ground state are presented. The line lists are based on new ab initio potential energy (PEC), spin-orbit
(SOC) and dipole moment (DMC) curves computed using the MRCI+Q-r method with aug-cc-pwCV5Z and aug-cc-pV5Z basis sets. The nuclear motion equations (i.e. the rovibronic Schrodinger equations for each molecule) are solved using the program Duo. The PECs and SOCs are refined in least-squares fits to available experimental data. Partition functions, $Q(T)$, are computed up to $T=$ 5000 K, the range of validity of the line lists. These line lists are the most comprehensive available for either molecule. The characteristically sharp peak of the $Q$-branches from the spin-orbit split components give useful diagnostics for both PO and PS in spectra at infrared wavelengths. These line lists should prove useful for analysing observations and setting up models of environments such as brown dwarfs, low-mass stars, O-rich circumstellar regions and potentially for exoplanetary retrievals. Since PS is yet to be detected in space, the role of the two lowest excited electronic states ($a$ $^4Pi$ and $B$ $^2Pi$) are also considered. An approximate line list for the PS $X - B$ electronic transition, which predicts a number of sharp vibrational bands in the near ultraviolet, is also presented. he line lists are available from the CDS (cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr) and ExoMol (www.exomol.com) databases.
Potassium hydroxide (KOH) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) are expected to occur in the atmospheres of hot rocky super-Earth exoplanets but a lack of spectroscopic data is hampering their potential detection. Using robust first-principles methodologies, c
omprehensive molecular line lists for KOH and NaOH that are applicable for temperatures up to $T=3500$ K are presented. The KOH OYT4 line list covers the 0-6000 cm$^{-1}$ (wavelengths $lambda > 1.67$ $mu$m) range and comprises 38 billion transitions between 7.3 million energy levels with rotational excitation up to $J=255$. The NaOH OYT5 line list covers the 0 - 9000 cm$^{-1}$ (wavelengths $lambda > 1.11$ $mu$m) range and contains almost 50 billion lines involving 7.9 million molecular states with rotational excitation up to $J=206$. The OYT4 and OYT5 line lists are available from the ExoMol database at www.exomol.com and should greatly aid the study of hot rocky exoplanets.
A revised rotation-vibration line list for the combined hydrogen cyanide (HCN) / hydrogen isocyanide (HNC) system is presented. The line list uses {it ab initio} transition intensities calculated previously (Harris et al., ApJ, 2002, 578, 657) and ex
tensive datasets of recently measured experimental energy levels (Mellau, J. Chem. Phys. and J. Mol. Spectrosc. 2010-2011). The resulting line list has significantly more accurate wavelengths than previous ones for these systems. An improved value for the separation between HCN and HNC is adopted leading to an approximately 25% lower predicted thermal population of HNC as a function of temperature in the key 2000 to 3000 K region. Temperature-dependent partition functions and equilibrium constants are presented. The line lists are validated by comparison with laboratory spectra and are presented in full as supplementary data to the article and at url{www.exomol.com}.
A computed line list for hydrogen peroxide, H$_2{}^{16}$O$_2$, applicable to temperatures up to $T=1250$~K is presented. A semi-empirical high accuracy potential energy surface is constructed and used with an {it ab initio} dipole moment surface as i
nput TROVE to compute 7.5 million rotational-vibrational states and around 20 billion transitions with associated Einstein-$A$ coefficients for rotational excitations up to $J=85$. The resulting APTY line list is complete for wavenumbers below 6~000 cm$^{-1}$ ($lambda < 1.67$~$mu$m) and temperatures up to 1250~K. Room-temperature spectra are compared with laboratory measurements and data currently available in the HITRAN database and literature. Our rms with line positions from the literature is 0.152 cm and our absolute intensities agree better than 10%. The full line list is available from the CDS databas
An accurate line list, called XABC, is computed for nitric oxide which covers its pure rotational, vibrational and rovibronic spectra. A mixture of empirical and theoretical electronic transition dipole moments are used for the final calculation of $
^{14}mathrm{N}^{16}mathrm{O}$ rovibronic $mathrm{A},^2Sigma^+$ -- $mathrm{X},^2Pi$, $mathrm{B},^2Pi$ -- $mathrm{X}^2Pi$ and $mathrm{C},^2Pi$ -- $mathrm{X},^2Pi$ which correspond to the $gamma$, $beta$ and $delta$ band systems, respectively, as well as minor improvements to transitions within the $mathrm{X},^2Pi$ ground state. The work is a major update of the ExoMol NOname line list. It provides a high-accuracy NO ultraviolet line list covering the complicated regions where the $mathrm{B},^2Pi$-$mathrm{C},^2Pi$ states interact. XABC provides comprehensive data for the lowest four doublet states of NO in the region of $lambda > 160 ~ mathrm{nm}$ ($tilde{ u} < 63~000~mathrm{cm}^{-1}$) for the analysis of atmospheric NO on Earth, Venus or Mars, other astronomical observations and applications. The data is available via www.exomol.com.
