The review by Duncan V. Mifsud
and other authors points at the role which sulfur plays in the special world of
astrochemistry as an element of paramount importance to biological systems and
planetary geology. A pdf of laboratory studies involving sulfur-bearing
molecules include spectroscopy and results from experiments on thermal and
photochemical processing. Charged particle bombardment and radiolysis of sulfur
ice analogues are discussed for a better understanding of the behavior of sulfur
in extraterrestrial environments. The current document concludes with proposed
further research directions and continues to highlight the importance of sulfur
in astrochemical processes.

Astrochemistry Lecture Note Prepared by Adwin Boogert Herschel Science
Center - NASA A short lecture note. Kind of a nice basic course on
astrochemistry, though: the chemistry of interstellar space, chemical reactions
in space, techniques for observing interstellar molecules, evolution of the
molecule and its implications for astrobiology.
