| Leerdoelen | At the end of the course, the student is able to: 1. describe the various types of chemical reactions occurring in space; 2. describe which type of reaction takes place under which conditions; 3. describe the chemical composition of astrophysical objects; 4. describe how the chemical composition of celestial objects may be used to infer their astrophysical properties. |

| Omschrijving | Astrochemistry is the study of molecular processes in space, with strong links to astrophysics and astrobiology. Chemical probes are essential to understand the formation of the first stars in the early universe, the origin of today's stars and planets, and the emergence of life on the early Earth. This course teaches the concepts necessary to understand astrochemistry: gas-phase and grain surface reactions, and the importance of various chemical processes under different astrophysical conditions. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
