Philosophy of Astrophysics
This PDF by Nora Mills Boyd, Siska De Baerdemaeker, Kevin Heng, and Vera Matarese is an explication of how the theory and observation balance within astrophysics. Items under discussion include laboratory astrophysics, the problem with the Hubble constant, and also how theory plays a game of give-and-take with observation in stellar population synthesis. Discussions on epistemological lessons extracted from gravitational-wave astrophysics are also present, covering simulation practices, idealisations in computer modeling, and verification of data. Discussing the philosophical implications of observational black hole astrophysics and entity realism in extragalactic studies, it ends with reflections by a theoretical astrophysicist, providing an all-encompassing view into the foundations and methodologies that guide todays astrophysical research.

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 Graduate Course
It is a graduate course note led by Prof. Jose-Luis Jimenez, and explorations into atmospheric chemistry principles had been quite informative. Some of the topics covered include global circulation, chemical transport, spectroscopy, and some more key atmospheric processes. The note has focused around the chemistry of inorganic nitrogen and acid deposition as well as around the role of aerosols, cloud, and fog chemistry. The program seems to look for making sure students get a profound understanding of complexity in the atmosphere and many other factors that go into its chemistry, especially as it relates to environmental concerns.
