Anatomy of Orion Molecular Clouds—The Astrochemistry Perspective/Approach
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 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

Laboratory surface astrochemistry experiments [PDF]
Review of Scientific Instruments, 2015 Although several research groups have studied the formation of H2 on interstellar dust grains using surface science techniques, few have explored the formation of more complex molecules. A small number of these reactions produce molecules that remain on the surface of interstellar dust grains and, over time, lead to the formation of icy mantles.

Solid-state production of complex organic molecules: H-atom addition versus UV irradiation [PDF]
, 2018 Complex organic molecules (COMs) have been observed in comets, hot cores and cold dense regions of the interstellar medium. It is generally accepted that these COMs form on icy dust grain through the recombination reaction of radicals triggered by either
