Characterizing (exo)planetary atmospheres: An overview on radiative transfer, inversion codes, and atomic-molecular databases

This contribution provides valuable insights into two critical aspects essential for advancing our comprehension of (exo)planetary atmospheres. Firstly, it focuses on radiative transfer (RT) and inversion codes as powerful tools for characterizing planetary atmospheres. We present a comprehensive overview of various available codes, offering researchers a valuable resource for selecting and applying the most suitable code for their planetary atmospheric studies.
Secondly, the presentation delves into the domain of atomic and molecular (A&M) databases within the (exo)planetary community. A&M data form the bedrock of understanding physical and chemical processes within planetary atmospheres occurring within planetary atmospheres. By spotlighting existing A&M databases, we address crucial aspects such as accessibility, organization, limitations, and infrastructures, thereby illuminating their pivotal role in (exo)planetary research.
