Goal
Interstellar space is full of atoms and molecules. These atoms and molecules are observed through their emission and absorption spectra, and our understanding of these spectra originate with the Bohr model of the atom. Through observations we know of more than 200 molecules in space. Understanding their chemical origin and the physical link to star- and planet-forming regions, as well as emerging exoplanets, are some of the key topics of modern-day astrochemistry that will explored in this symposium.
Symposium questions and themes
How is the heritage from Niels Bohr reflected in modern-day Astrochemistry?
What is the origin of chemical complexity in star- and planet-forming regions?
Is chemistry inherited from clouds to disks to planets?
How are the properties of exoplanet systems shaped within protoplanetary disks?
