Free download Astrochemistry – The Physical Chemistry of the Universe (2nd edition) written by Andrew M. Shaw in pdf.
According to the writer, “Astrochemistry draws its inspiration, language, fascination, beauty, elegance, and confusion from many different disciplines: starting with astronomy, passing through physical chemistry, and ending with the new ideas of astrobiology.
It is this breadth of fascination that I have attempted to capture in Astrochemistry: From Astronomy to Astrobiology. Choosing such a broad subject comes with the serious problem of how to limit the discussion of the details to allow an appreciation of the whole.
I could have written an entire book on molecular astrophysics, looking at what molecules are doing in the various environments of space. I could have looked simply at the wonders of planetary chemistry, concentrating on the solar system or even just one planet such as Jupiter. Why does it have a giant red spot? Instead, I have chosen to apply a more general boundary condition for the book taking in all of the subjects but focused on the theme of ‘The Origin of Life’.
Astrochemistry starts with the origins of the Universe and the theory of the Big Bang, resulting in the formation of hydrogen, helium, and a little lithium. Gravity pulls the matter together to form stars, galaxies, and clusters of galaxies, all of which give off light in some form.
The light tells the molecular story with information on the formation and evolution of stars and the role of atoms. At times these interesting subjects are buried in the disciplines of astronomy and astrophysics, and I have tried to bring the pieces of the story together, concentrating on astrochemistry.
The cycle of star formation ends with a supernova blowing huge quantities of material into the interstellar medium, now laden with all of the elements of the Periodic Table. Chemistry in the interstellar medium, with rather cold and tenuous conditions, is now possible and this controls the starting molecular inventory.
To understand this fully, the subjects of quantum mechanics and kinetics need to be applied, through spectroscopy and chemical reaction networks, to the giant molecular clouds of the interstellar medium – the birthplace of stars and life?”
