Despite the generally hostile nature of the environments involved, chemistry does occur in space. Molecules are seen in environments that span a wide range of physical and chemical …
Here we introduce the interstellar dust modelling framework THEMIS (The Heterogeneous dust Evolution Model for Interstellar Solids), which takes a global view of dust and its …

Context. The evolution of amorphous hydrocarbon materials, aC (: H), principally resulting from ultraviolet (UV) photon absorption-induced processing, are likely at the heart of the …
All chondrites accreted∼ 3.5 wt.% C in their matrices, the bulk of which was in a macromolecular solvent and acid insoluble organic material (IOM). Similar material to IOM is …

We have analyzed the chemically and isotopically well‐characterized insoluble organic matter (IOM) extracted from 51 unequilibrated chondrites (8 CR, 9 CM, 1 CI, 3 ungrouped C …
In-situ study of comet 1P/Halley during its 1986 apparition revealed a surprising abundance of organic coma species. It remained unclear, whether or not these species originated from …
We present the results of a systematic study of mid-IR spectra of Galactic regions, Magellanic H ii regions, and galaxies of various types (dwarf, spiral, starburst), observed by …
Chondrites accreted the oldest solid materials in the solar system including dust processed in the protoplanetary disk and diverse organic compounds. After accretion, asteroidal …
