Astrochemistry: The Issue of Molecular Complexity in Astrophysical Environments
by M. De Becker
Publisher: arXiv 2013
Number of pages: 62
Description:
Astrochemistry aims at studying chemical processes in astronomical environments. This discipline -- located at the crossroad between astrophysics and chemistry -- is rapidly evolving and explores the issue of the formation of molecules of increasing complexity in particular physical conditions that deviate significantly from those frequently encountered in chemistry laboratories.

Cosmic Rays in Galactic and Extragalactic Magnetic Fields
by F. Aharonian, A. Bykov, E. Parizot, V. Ptuskin, A. Watson - arXiv
We review sources of cosmic rays, their composition and spectra as well as their propagation in the galactic and extragalactic magnetic fields, both regular and fluctuating. A special attention is paid to the recent results of the observations.

An Introduction to Galactic Chemical Evolution
by Nikos Prantzos - arXiv
The formalism of the simple model of galactic chemical evolution (GCE) and its main ingredients are presented. It is stressed that GCE is not an astrophysical theory, but it provides a framework in which the large body of data may be interpreted.
