A new extensive ab initio rotation-vibration HCN/HNC line list is presented. The line list contains rotation-vibration energy levels, line frequencies, and line strengths for transitions between states with energy less than 18,000 cm-1 and with J ≤ 60. This line list greatly improves the quality and range of HCN/HNC data available. It is presently the most extensive and most accurate ab initio HCN/HNC line list in existence. It is hoped that this data set will be used in models of C star atmospheres and elsewhere.
