Astrochemistry by MIT

This educational note coming out of MIT is a resource that gives an in-depth overview on astrochemistry, focusing primarily on the topic of spectral lines and their significance in understanding cosmic entities. The topics included are as follows: Radio Telescope Mechanics Emission/Absorption of Spectral Lines Detection of Stars Detection of Planets Detection of Galaxies. This paper will try to help students acquire more significant knowledge in space science: the processes of chemistry and the principles upon which astronomy observations are based.

Astrochemistry during the formation of stars

Authored by Jes K. Jurgensen, Arnaud Belloche and Robin T. Garrod, this PDF delves into the role that astrochemistry plays in the process of star formation. Recent advances and challenges in the field are addressed, with a focus on chemical inventories in star-forming regions. Chemical differentiation and the evolution of the protostar under physical conditions are addressed by the authors, who underscore fractionation as one of the processes. The communication of physical and chemical aspects of star formation is made by the document as it exposes the reader to such complicated interactions which finally end in the emergence of stars and development of chemical complexity in space.

Atmospheric Chemistry Lecture Notes by Prof. Jesse Kroll

This is a lecture note by Prof. Jesse Kroll, focusing on chemical transformations in trace species of Earth's atmosphere. The note highlighted how human activity impacts both air quality and climate-from covering major concepts such as photochemistry and ozone-depleting compounds to aerosol chemistry. The note provides a comprehensive summary of what drives atmospheric chemistry, from sources and sinks of greenhouse gases to names and processes. The paper is designed for better understanding of the atmospheric processes concerning anthropogenic influences and their implication in environmental science.
