Astrochemistry: from interstellar medium to the origin of solar system

Speaker: Fujun Du (Purple Mountain Observatory)

Venue: Gewu 4410

Time: 3:00 PM, Thursday, 11th April, 2019

Abstract: 

Astrochemistry --- also called molecular astrophysics, studies the chemical aspect of astrophysics.  Over the years more than 200 molecules have been detected in space, most of which are organic.  Understanding the origin of these molecules is one of the major tasks of astrochemical study, and helps to infer the physical state of interstellar medium.  In this talk I will review some of the important topics of astrochemistry, including some unsolved puzzles, and how they could be related with the origin of our solar system.
