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.

Astrochemistry The Cradle of Life
Professor Nigel Mason discusses in his paper the chemical origins of life, covering the synthesis of nucleobases and DNA. Included in this also are the historical experiments, such as Urey-Miller, and examines the chemistry of prebiotic types in conditions similar to those prevailing on early Earth. This note covers important results with regard to the question of life on Mars: investigations about meteorites from Mars and ozone formation and depletion. It is an interesting overview of astrochemical processes that could well have led to the origin of life on Earth and elsewhere in the universe, founded on a blend of experimental data and theoretical insights.
