[email protected] Some suggested reading: This is by no means an exhaustive list, just a few suggestions to get you started. Many of the articles below go beyond the material covered directly in this course. There are many other review articles and research articles available on every different aspect of astrochemistry if you want to find out more about particular areas. Relevant literature is also cited throughout these lecture notes. 1. Astrochemistry, by Andrew Shaw (textbook) 2. Ion chemistry and the interstellar medium, Theodore P. Snow and Veronica M.
