Application of Spectrometry and Spectroscopy to Time Scale Analysis in Astrochemistry
Application of numerous quantum concepts and principles of the well-developed theories of rate coefficients in the velocity of chemical reactions, including quantum tunneling and various equilibriums, to the development of nanotechnology beyond nanometer‐

Three-body aggregation of guest molecules as a key step in methane hydrate nucleation and growth
Gas hydrates have an important role in environmental and astrochemistry, as well as energy materials, but the hydrate nucleation process is not fully understood.

Electron irradiation and thermal chemistry studies of interstellar and planetary ice analogues at the ICA astrochemistry facility [PDF]
The modelling of molecular excitation and dissociation processes relevant to astrochemistry requires the validation of theories by comparison with data generated from laboratory experimentation.

Design and implementation of a new apparatus for astrochemistry: Kinetic measurements of the CH + OCS reaction and frequency comb spectroscopy in a cold uniform supersonic flow. [PDF]
We present the development of a new astrochemical research tool, HILTRAC, the Highly Instrumented Low Temperature ReAction Chamber. The instrument is based on a pulsed form of the CRESU (Cinétique de Réaction en Écoulement Supersonique Uniforme, meaning ...

Constraining chemical networks inAstrochemistry [PDF]
Databases of gas and surface chemical reactions are a key tool for scientists working in a wide range of physical sciences. In Astrochemistry, databases of chemical reactions are used as inputs to chemical models to determine the abundances of the interstellar medium.

Neutral and Ionized Hydrides in Star-forming Regions -- Observations with Herschel/HIFI [PDF]
The cosmic abundance of hydrides depends critically on high-energy UV, X-ray, and particle irradiation. Here we study hydrides in star-forming regions where irradiation by the young stellar object can be substantial, and density and temperature can be ...

Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary deposits in Denmark: A diachroneity [PDF]
The lateral distribution of predominantly terrestrial kerogen or humics enriched with copper(II) porphyrins (Cu-P) across the Danish marine basin implies that the alleged Cretaceous-Tertiary (KT) boundary deposits in western Denmark (at the Nye Kløv ...

Ionize Hard: Interstellar PO+ Detection
We report the first detection of the phosphorus monoxide ion (PO+) in the interstellar medium. Our unbiased and very sensitive spectral survey toward the G+0.693–0.027 molecular cloud covers four different rotational transitions of this molecule, two of ...

Recommended Thermal Rate Coefficients for the C + H$_3^+$ Reaction and Some Astrochemical Implications [PDF]
We have incorporated our experimentally derived thermal rate coefficients for C + H$_3^+$ forming CH$^+$ and CH$_2^+$ into a commonly used astrochemical model.

Dust Formation in Astrophysical Environments: The Importance of Kinetics
Astronomical observations and analysis of stardust isolated from meteorites have revealed a highly diverse interstellar and circumstellar grain inventory, including a wide range of amorphous materials and crystalline compounds (silicates and carbon ...
