Description
Jourdain de Muizon worked, together with Castets, Brouillet, Billebaud (all Bordeaux, France) and Ceccarelli (Grenoble, France) and with support from the ISO team (Vilspa), on the constitution of a database of all published ISO spectroscopic results. The output product is basically a big table in which each ISO observed and published spectral line or feature is described in a line of the table giving most of its possible observation and spectroscopic parameters. It will eventually be either a side product of the ISO Archive or included in it, in any case available on Internet and also connected to Simbad. Given that Spitzer does not have any spectroscopic instrument with a resolution that can compete with ISO short and long wavelength spectrographs (SWS and LWS) the team's ambition is to have the IASD ready in time to help in the preparation of observations with Herschel
