Context. Detailed astrochemical models are a key component to interpret the observations of
interstellar and circumstellar molecules since they allow important physical properties of the …

The chemistry of phosphorus (31P) in space is particularly significant due to the key role it
plays in biochemistry on Earth. Utilising radio and infrared spectroscopic observations …

The study of phosphorus chemistry in the interstellar medium has become a topic of growing
interest in astrobiology because it is plausible that a wide range of P-bearing molecules …

In the absence of laboratory data, state-of-the-art quantum chemical approaches can
provide estimates of the binding energy (BE) of interstellar species with grains. Without BE …

Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus and Sulfur (CHNOPS) play key roles in
the origin and proliferation of life on Earth. Given the universality of physics and chemistry …

Despite the importance of phosphorus-bearing molecules for life and their abundance
outside Earth, the chemistry of those compounds still is poorly described. The present study …

ABSTRACT A new phosphorous mononitride (PN and PN) line list PaiN covering infrared,
visible, and ultraviolet regions is presented. The PaiN line list extending to the–vibronic …

The formation of our solar system occurred approximately 4.6 billion years ago as a result of
the gravitational collapse of a small portion of a giant molecular cloud. The origin of life on …

It is speculated that there might be some linkage between interstellar aldehydes and their
corresponding alcohols. Here an observational study and astrochemical modeling are …

The reactions of the low-lying metastable states of atomic phosphorus, P (2D) and P (2P),
with H2O and H2 were studied by the pulsed laser photolysis at 248 nm of PCl3, combined …
