Astrochemistry and compositions of planetary systems

KI Öberg, EA Bergin - Physics Reports, 2021 - Elsevier
Planets form and obtain their compositions in disks of gas and dust around young stars. The
chemical compositions of these planet-forming disks regulate all aspects of planetary …

Protostellar outflows

J Bally - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2016 - annualreviews.org
Outflows from accreting, rotating, and magnetized systems are ubiquitous. Protostellar
outflows can be observed from radio to X-ray wavelengths in the continuum and a multitude …

Molecules with ALMA at Planet-forming Scales (MAPS). I. Program overview and highlights

KI Öberg, VV Guzmán, C Walsh, Y Aikawa… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Planets form and obtain their compositions in dust-and gas-rich disks around young stars,
and the outcome of this process is intimately linked to the disk chemical properties. The …

Water in star-forming regions: physics and chemistry from clouds to disks as probed by Herschel spectroscopy

EF van Dishoeck, LE Kristensen, JC Mottram… - Astronomy & …, 2021 - aanda.org
Context. Water is a key molecule in the physics and chemistry of star and planet formation,
but it is difficult to observe from Earth. The Herschel Space Observatory provided …

Our astrochemical heritage

P Caselli, C Ceccarelli - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2012 - Springer
Our Sun and planetary system were born about 4.5 billion years ago. How did this happen,
and what is the nature of our heritage from these early times? This review tries to address …

Interstellar water chemistry: from laboratory to observations

EF Van Dishoeck, E Herbst, DA Neufeld - Chemical Reviews, 2013 - ACS Publications
Water is a fundamental molecule in the universe. On Earth, water exists in all three phases:
gas, liquid, and solid (ice). Liquid water facilitates many chemical reactions as a solvent …

Surface processes on interstellar amorphous solid water: Adsorption, diffusion, tunneling reactions, and nuclear-spin conversion

T Hama, N Watanabe - Chemical reviews, 2013 - ACS Publications
Since we intend to review experimental and theoretical studies of physicochemical
processes occurring on cosmic dust grains in very cold regions in space, we start with a brief …

Detection of the water reservoir in a forming planetary system

MR Hogerheijde, EA Bergin, C Brinch, LI Cleeves… - Science, 2011 - science.org
Icy bodies may have delivered the oceans to the early Earth, yet little is known about water
in the ice-dominated regions of extrasolar planet-forming disks. The Heterodyne Instrument …

The VLA Nascent Disk and Multiplicity Survey of Perseus Protostars (VANDAM). IV. Free–free emission from protostars: links to infrared properties, outflow tracers, and …

Ł Tychoniec, JJ Tobin, A Karska… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Emission from protostars at centimeter radio wavelengths has been shown to trace the free–
free emission arising from ionizing shocks as a result of jets and outflows driven by …

Water in star-forming regions with Herschel (WISH)-II. Evolution of 557 GHz 110–101 emission in low-mass protostars

LE Kristensen, EF van Dishoeck, EA Bergin… - Astronomy & …, 2012 - aanda.org
