This paper sets out a robust methodology for modelling spectra of polyatomic molecules produced in reactive or dissociative environments, with vibrational populations outside local thermal equilibrium (LTE). The methodology is...

A general review is given of the astrophysical information obtainable from observations of molecules in stellar photospheres. Through selected examples, the use of molecules as thermometers (e.g., the OH 3 μm V-R lines in the Sun and α Ori) and as probes of the isotopic (e.g., iMg in metal-poor dwarfs, 12C/13C in cool carbon stars) and elemental abundances (e.g., CNO in red giants) is sketched. All of the (carefully) selected analyses assume that local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) prevails.
