The composition of the protosolar disk and the formation conditions for comets [PDF]
Conditions in the protosolar nebula have left their mark in the composition of cometary volatiles, thought to be some of the most pristine material in the solar system.

Nanodust in the Interstellar Medium in Comparison to the Solar System
Nanodust, which undergoes stochastic heating by single starlight photons in the interstellar medium, ranges from angstrom-sized large molecules containing tens to thousands of atoms (e.g.

Deep Search for Phosphine in a Prestellar Core
Understanding in which chemical forms phosphorus exists in star- and planet-forming regions and how phosphorus is delivered to planets are of great interest from the viewpoint of the origin of life on Earth.

Radiolysis of ammonia-containing ices by energetic, heavy and highly charged ions inside dense astrophysical environments [PDF]
Deeply inside dense molecular clouds and protostellar disks, the interstellar ices are protected from stellar energetic UV photons. However, X-rays and energetic cosmic rays can penetrate inside these regions triggering chemical reactions, molecular ...

A Framework for Incorporating Binding Energy Distribution in Gas-ice Astrochemical Models
One of the most serious limitations of current astrochemical models with the rate equation (RE) approach is that only a single type of binding site is considered in grain surface chemistry, although laboratory and quantum chemical studies have found that

A Possible Chemical Clock in High-mass Star-forming Regions: N(HC3N)/N(N2H+)?
We conducted observations of multiple HC _3 N ( J = 10−9, 12−11, and 16−15) lines and the N _2 H ^+ ( J = 1−0) line toward a large sample of 61 ultracompact (UC) H ii regions, through the Institut de Radioastronomie Millmétrique 30 m and the Arizona ...

Ice chemistry in the dense, cold interstellar medium (ISM) is probably responsible for the formation of interstellar complex organic molecules (COMs). Recent laboratory experiments performed at T ∼ 4 K have shown that irradiation of CO:N _2 ice samples ...

The SPHEREx Target List of Ice Sources (SPLICES)
One of the primary objectives of the SPHEREx mission is to understand the origin of molecules such as H _2 O, CO _2 , and other volatile compounds at the early stages of planetary system formation.

Centrosymmetric molecules as possible carriers of diffuse interstellar bands
In this paper, we present new data with interstellar C2 (Phillips bands A-X), from observations made with the Ultraviolet-Visual Echelle Spectrograph of the European Southern Observatory.
