Introductory Astrochemistry

Introduction to Astrosciences: From Inorganic to Life-Related Materials provides a detailed examination of the origins of planets, their satellites, and the conditions that led to life itself. Drawing on theories, experiments, observations, calculations, and analytical data from five distinct astrosciences, including astronomy, astrobiology, astrogeology, astrophysics, and astrochemistry, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of the formation and evolution of our Solar System and applies it to other solar systems. The book begins with fundamental knowledge in the astrosciences, building upon understanding systematically up to the formation of the early Solar System. Introduction to Astrosciences: From Inorganic to Life-Related Materials s an interdisciplinary reference for researchers and advanced students in astrogeology, astrophysics, astrochemistry, astrobiology, astronomy, and other space sciences, helping to foster a deeper understanding of the interconnections between these disciplines. Includes detailed data references on astrochemistry and astronomy of the Universe, stars, planets, and moons, and applies them to the Solar SystemCombines knowledge from the fields of mineralogy, astrophysics, astrochemistry, astrobiology, and astronomy, and moreIntegrates conclusions from multiple fields and interdisciplinary topics to form a holistic understandingIncludes extensive figures and tables to enhance key concepts
