Abstract

This paper has been devoted to a minimum amount of literature necessary for an understanding of the spectra of molecules, molecular ions, and radicals present in the cosmic objects such as Sun, comet, interstellar medium, Earth's atmospheres, long period variables, peculiar late-type stars, nebulae, and planetary atmospheres.
