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 …

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