Astrochemistry by Floris van der Tak

Astrochemistry is the study of molecular processes in space, with strong links to astrophysics and astrobiology. This note teaches the concepts necessary to understand astrochemistry: gas-phase and grain surface reactions, and the importance of various chemical processes under different astrophysical conditions.
