Title: Astrochemistry as the Bridge Between Protoplanetary Disks and Exoplanets Abstract: Given the now 5,000+ known exoplanets, we can assume that planet formation is a common process in our Galaxy.

Astrochemistry is the study of the abundance, formation, and chemical reactions of atoms, molecules, and ions and how they interact with radiation in both the gas and condensed phases in solar ...

Born in the late 1930s with the development of spectroscopy and radio astronomy, astrochemistry, a field at the intersection of astrophysics and chemistry, is now mature. New means for observing the s ...

Our peer-reviewed reports present the evidence-based consensus of committees of experts. Published proceedings record the presentations and discussions that take place at hundreds of conferences, ...
