Interstellar Molecules - The Optical Region [PDF]
Considerable attention has recently been given to the observation of interstellar molecules by radio methods. Interstellar molecules have also been given a boost because of excitation by the 3K black body radiation field (to use a convenient description).

Infrared Observations and Interstellar Molecules [PDF]
It has been common practice to separate the study of interstellar matter from that of stellar evolution. However, infrared astronomy deals mainly with observations of stars forming and stars dying. Interstellar matter represents a phase intermediate between these two stages, part of a cyclic process (Figure 1).We find molecules in interstellar space ...

THE CHEMISTRY OF INTERSTELLAR MOLECULES CONTAINING THE HALOGEN ELEMENTS [PDF]
Although they are only minor constituents of the interstellar medium, halogen-containing molecules are of special interest because of their unique thermochemistry. Here, we present a theoretical study of the chemistry of interstellar molecules containing

Observational astrochemistry: The quest for interstellar molecules [PDF]
Over 160 molecular species, not counting isotopologues, have been identified in circumstellar envelopes and interstellar clouds. These species have revealed a wealth of familiar, as much as exotic molecules and in complex organic (and silicon) compounds,

Dust evolution, a global view I. Nanoparticles, nascence, nitrogen and natural selection … joining the dots [PDF]
The role and importance of nanoparticles for interstellar chemistry and beyond is explored within the framework of The Heterogeneous dust Evolution Model for Interstellar Solids (THEMIS), focusing on their active surface chemistry, the effects of ...

Dust evolution, a global view: III. Core/mantle grains, organic nano-globules, comets and surface chemistry [PDF]
Within the framework of The Heterogeneous dust Evolution Model for Interstellar Solids (THEMIS), this work explores the surface processes and chemistry relating to core/mantle interstellar and cometary grain structures and their influence on the nature ...

The reactivity of interstellar carbon atoms (C) on water-dominated ices is one of the possible ways to form interstellar complex organic molecules (iCOMs). In this work, we report a quantum chemical study of the coupling reaction of C ( ^3 P) with an icy
