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.

Astrochemistry The Cradle of Life
Professor Nigel Mason discusses in his paper the chemical origins of life, covering the synthesis of nucleobases and DNA. Included in this also are the historical experiments, such as Urey-Miller, and examines the chemistry of prebiotic types in conditions similar to those prevailing on early Earth. This note covers important results with regard to the question of life on Mars: investigations about meteorites from Mars and ozone formation and depletion. It is an interesting overview of astrochemical processes that could well have led to the origin of life on Earth and elsewhere in the universe, founded on a blend of experimental data and theoretical insights.
