Sulfur Ice Astrochemistry A Review of Laboratory Studies

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.

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.

Astrochemistry The Cradle of Life

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.
