Authored by Jes K. Jurgensen, Arnaud Belloche and Robin T. Garrod, this
PDF delves into the role that astrochemistry plays in the process of star
formation. Recent advances and challenges in the field are addressed, with a
focus on chemical inventories in star-forming regions. Chemical differentiation
and the evolution of the protostar under physical conditions are addressed by
the authors, who underscore fractionation as one of the processes. The
communication of physical and chemical aspects of star formation is made by the
document as it exposes the reader to such complicated interactions which finally
end in the emergence of stars and development of chemical complexity in space.

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.
