Our main knowledge about astrophysical environments relies on radiative spectra.
Absorption studies require background sources that are located hapharzadly in …

A new era in chemical kinetics was heralded 20 years ago by the results reported by
Bertrand Rowe, then at the Laboratoire d AØrothermique in Meudon.[1] Using an apparatus …

The low-temperature reaction between CN and benzene (C 6 H 6) is of significant interest in
the astrochemical community due to the recent detection of benzonitrile, the first aromatic …

The field of astrochemistry concerns the formation and abundance of molecules in the
interstellar medium, star-forming regions, exoplanets, and solar system bodies. These …

A major aim of astrochemistry is to explain the nature and abundance of the molecules
observed in the interstellar medium (ISM). Three kinds of activity are involved:(a) the …

Studies of gas-phase processes at temperatures down to 10 K have recently blossomed,
largely through application of the CRESU (cinétique de réaction en ecoulement …

We report new coupled-cluster [CCSD (T)] ab initio calculations of the two potential energy
surfaces (PES's) of the Ar–NO complex. Successively larger basis sets are used to …

A CRESU (Cine′ tique de Re′ action en Ecoulement Supersonique Uniforme) apparatus
has been used to measure rate coefficients for the reactions of ground-state carbon atoms, C …

We closely compare the accuracy of multidimensional potential energy surfaces (PESs)
generated by the recently developed explicitly correlated coupled cluster (CCSD (T)-F12) …

The interstellar medium is of great interest to us as the place where stars and planets are
born and from where, probably, the molecular precursors of life came to Earth. Astronomical …
