Research Notes of the AAS, 2021, 5, 92 In this research note, we present linemake, an open-source atomic and
molecular line list generator. Rather than a replacement for a number of
well-established atomic and molecular spectral databases, linemake aims to be a
lightweight, easy-to-use tool to generate formatted and curated lists suitable
for spectral synthesis work. We encourage users of linemake to understand the
sources of their transition data and cite them as appropriate in published
work. We provide the code, line database, and an extensive list of literature
references in a GitHub repository (https://github.com/vmplacco/linemake), which
will be updated regularly as new data become available.
