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 …

Molecular absorption and emission bands dominate the visible, infrared, and submillimeter
spectra of most objects with associated gas. These observations reveal a surprisingly rich …

Context. Near-to mid-infrared observations of molecular emission from protoplanetary disks
show that the inner regions are rich in small organic volatiles (eg, C 2 H 2 and HCN). Trends …

Since the discovery of the first extrasolar planet around a solartype star, 1 more than 900
such planets outside of our solar system have been detected by ground-and space-based …

A brief introduction and overview of the astrochemistry of dust, ice and gas and their
interplay is presented. The importance of basic chemical physics studies of critical reactions …

We study the influence of transport processes on the chemical evolution of DM Tau-like
protoplanetary disks. Turbulent transport of gases and ices is implicitly modeled in full two …

The understanding of planet formation has changed recently, embracing the new idea of
pebble accretion. This means that the influx of pebbles from the outer regions of planet …

We present an analysis of Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph observations of H 2 O, OH, HCN, C
2 H 2, and CO 2 emission, and Keck-NIRSPEC observations of CO emission, from a diverse …

We present a new interstellar chemical gas-phase reaction network for time-dependent
kinetics that can be used for modeling high-temperature sources up to≈ 800 K. This network …

Early results from the James Webb Space Telescope-Mid-InfraRed Instrument (JWST-MIRI)
guaranteed time programs on protostars (JOYS) and disks (MINDS) are presented. Thanks …
