Spectroscopic techniques can probe molecular systems non-invasively and investigate their
structure, properties and dynamics in different environments and physico-chemical …

Planets form in disks of gas and dust around young stars. The disk molecular reservoirs and
their chemical evolution affect all aspects of planet formation, from the coagulation of dust …

The evolution of star-forming regions and their thermal balance are strongly influenced by
their chemical composition, which, in turn, is determined by the physicochemical processes …

A new, more comprehensive model of gas–grain chemistry in hot molecular cores is
presented, in which nondiffusive reaction processes on dust-grain surfaces and in ice …

The origin of complex organic molecules (COMs) in young Class 0 protostars has been one
of the major questions in astrochemistry and star formation. While COMs are thought to form …

EX Lup is a low-mass pre-main-sequence star that occasionally shows accretion-related
outbursts. Here, we present JWST/MIRI medium-resolution spectroscopy obtained for EX …

Dust is a ubiquitous feature of the cosmos, impinging directly or indirectly on most fields of
modern astronomy and astrophysics. Dust in the Galactic Environment, Second Edition …

Quantifying the composition of the material in protoplanetary disks is essential to
determining the potential for exoplanetary systems to produce and support habitable …

Context. Theories of the origins of life propose that early cell membranes were synthesised
from amphiphilic molecules simpler than phospholipids, such as fatty alcohols. The …

Reactions in interstellar ices are shown to be capable of producing key prebiotic molecules
without energetic radiation that are necessary for the origins of life. When present in …
