Methane is not only an important opacity source in brown dwarfs and giant planets, but its appearance in the spectrum is often used as an indicator of a low temperature object. Unfortunately, the analysis of the spectrum of this important molecule is far from complete due to its great complexity. In this presentation we will show progress that has been made by David Schwenke and Harry Partridge in developing an ab initio potential surface for CH4. Examples will be given to illustrate the current state of the calculations, and the applications to the interpretation of astronomical spectra.
