| Description | We have developed software to be used in conjunction with the codes available to the public through the UMIST Database for Astrochemistry (UDfA), the world's leading database for the provision of chemical kinetic data used in astrochemical modelling. This software enables a simple link between output from UDfA codes and powerful radiative transfer codes that are used both to interpret astronomical observations and to predict molecular line intensities and maps to support proposals for telescope time. |
| Exploitation Route | The software developed will be accessible to all users of the UDfA database. We expect to see outputs from the software included in scientific papers and in telescope proposals. |

| Title | UDfA |
| Description | The UMIST Database for Astrochemistry (UDfA) is the world's leading database for the provision of chemical kinetic data for astrochemistry. As well as data, it contains software to manipulate the data and run models for the chemical evolution of interstellar molecular clouds and circumstellar envelopes. |
| Type Of Material | Database/Collection of data |
| Year Produced | 2014 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | The database is used by many groups from astronomy, atmospheric chemistry and plasma physics. |
