Abstract

We describe the recent updates to the ExoMol database regarding the molecular spectral line shapes. ExoMol provides comprehensive molecular line lists with a special emphasis on the applications involving characterization of hot atmospheres such as those found in exoplanets and cool stars. Among important requirements of such applications are (i) the broadening parameters for hydrogen and helium dominating atmospheres and (ii) very broad ranges of temperature and pressures. The current status of the available line shape data in the literature, demands from the exoplanetary community and their specific needs are discussed.
