OBJECTDATA.*** (14)

This file contains data on the object being observed. The first row shows the distance to the object in parsecs. The next 3 rows contain information on any continuum source in the object. The first figure shows how many data entries there are in the final two rows. The final two rows consist of pairs of numbers (in columns), the first being a frequency in GHz and the second being the continuum emission at that frequency in K. At present this is still a little inflexible as this data is specific to a particular telescope and is therefore not fully general. However, only relatively minor modifications would be needed to include continuum data for different telescopes and then have the program pick out the correct data based on which telescope is being used. The program then interpolates these figures for the exact frequency of the transition being modelled.
