Gas-Phase Chemistry in Space

Description

Gas-Phase
Chemistry in Space:
From elementary particles to complex organic molecules is written by a collection of experts in the field of
astrochemistry. The book introduces essential concepts that govern the
formation, excitation and destruction of molecules at postgraduate and
research levels. A broad range of topics are covered; from early universe
chemistry and stellar nucleosynthesis, to the study of bimolecular reaction
kinetics. Detailed description of the gas-phase process is provided and recent examples of the interplay between observational and laboratory
astrophysics are examined. Using more than 100 figures, as well as examples, this work reveals, in detail, both theoretical and experimental perspectives that can be
implemented in future discoveries.
