Gas-phase Ortho-to-para Ratio of Formaldehyde Formed at Low Temperatures in Laboratory Ices
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 ...

Exploring outer space biophysical phenomena via SpaceLID
Extensive investigations in outer space have revealed not only how life adapts to the space environment, but also that interesting biophysical phenomena occur. These phenomena affect human health and other life forms (animals, plants, bacteria, and fungi)

Anatomy of Orion Molecular Clouds—The Astrochemistry Perspective/Approach
The Orion molecular cloud (OMC) complex is the nearest and perhaps the best-studied giant molecular cloud complex within which low-mass and massive star formation occur. A variety of molecular species, from diatomic molecules to complex organic molecules

The astrochemistry of life [PDF]
There are many unanswered astronomical questions about the chemical basis of life; a meeting held in August this year by the Astrophysical Chemistry Group of the RAS and the Royal Society of Chemistry took as its starting point the understanding of a number of questions, and reviews of progress towards the answers, report Anita Richards and Peter Sarre.

Astrochemistry: Synthesis and Modelling [PDF]
We discuss models that astrochemists have developed to study the chemical composition of the interstellar medium. These models aim at computing the evolution of the chemical composition of a mixture of gas and dust under as- trophysical conditions. These conditions, as well as the geometry and the physical dynamics, have to be adapted to the objects ...

Identification of solid N2O in interstellar ices using open JWST data
Context. Only six molecules containing an N-O bond are detected in the gaseous phase of the interstellar medium. One of them is nitrous oxide (N2O), which was unsuccessfully searched for in solid form since the launch of the Infrared Space Observatory ...
