Lecture Note on Astrochemistry by Adwin Boogert

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.

Philosophy of Astrophysics

This PDF by Nora Mills Boyd, Siska De Baerdemaeker, Kevin Heng, and Vera Matarese is an explication of how the theory and observation balance within astrophysics. Items under discussion include laboratory astrophysics, the problem with the Hubble constant, and also how theory plays a game of give-and-take with observation in stellar population synthesis. Discussions on epistemological lessons extracted from gravitational-wave astrophysics are also present, covering simulation practices, idealisations in computer modeling, and verification of data. Discussing the philosophical implications of observational black hole astrophysics and entity realism in extragalactic studies, it ends with reflections by a theoretical astrophysicist, providing an all-encompassing view into the foundations and methodologies that guide todays astrophysical research.

Atmospheric Chemistry Graduate Course

Atmospheric Chemistry Graduate Course

It is a graduate course note led by Prof. Jose-Luis Jimenez, and explorations into atmospheric chemistry principles had been quite informative. Some of the topics covered include global circulation, chemical transport, spectroscopy, and some more key atmospheric processes. The note has focused around the chemistry of inorganic nitrogen and acid deposition as well as around the role of aerosols, cloud, and fog chemistry. The program seems to look for making sure students get a profound understanding of complexity in the atmosphere and many other factors that go into its chemistry, especially as it relates to environmental concerns.
