Interrelations Between Astrochemistry and Galactic Dynamics [PDF]
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 This paper presents a review of ideas that interconnect astrochemistry and galactic dynamics. Since these two areas are vast and not recent, each one has already been covered separately by several reviews.

Future space experiment platforms for astrobiology and astrochemistry research [PDF]
npj Microgravity, 2023 Space experiments are a technically challenging but a scientifically important part of astrobiology and astrochemistry research. The International Space Station (ISS) is an excellent example of a highly successful and long-lasting research platform for ...

AlF–AlF Reaction Dynamics between 200 K and 1000 K: Reaction Mechanisms and Intermediate Complex Characterization [PDF]
Molecules, 2023 AlF is a relevant molecule in astrochemistry as a tracer of F-bearing molecules. Additionally, AlF presents diagonal Franck-Condon factors and can be created very efficiently in the lab, which makes it a prototypical molecular for laser cooling. However,

Astrochemistry of sub-millimeter sources in Orion [PDF]
, 2003 Cornerstone molecules (CO, H_2CO, CH_3OH, HCN, HNC, CN, CS, SO) were observed toward seven sub-millimeter bright sources in the Orion molecular cloud in order to quantify the range of conditions for which individual molecular line tracers provide ...

Cosmic-Ray Induced Diffusion in Interstellar Ices
Open Astronomy, 2014 Cosmic rays are able to heat interstellar dust grains. This may enhance molecule mobility in icy mantles that have accumulated on the grains in dark cloud cores.

Rotational-state-selected Carbon Astrochemistry
CHIMIAThe addition of individual quanta of rotational excitation to a molecule has been shown to markedly change its reactivity by significantly modifying the intermolecular interactions. So far, it has only been possible to observe these rotational effects in

Infrared Spectra and Vapor Pressures of Crystalline C2N2, with Comparisons to Crystalline HCN
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 In a continuation of our work on nitriles, we have examined cyanogen (C _2 N _2 ) as a crystalline solid, comparing the results to our recent work on crystalline hydrogen cyanide (HCN).

Gas-phase Ortho-to-para Ratio of Formaldehyde Formed at Low Temperatures in Laboratory Ices
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 The ortho-to-para ratio (OPR) of formaldehyde (H _2 CO) has been used as a probe to estimate the formation temperature of molecules in interstellar, circumstellar, and cometary environments, relying on the assumption that nuclear spin conversion is ...
