Interstellar Astrochemistry

俄亥俄州立大学埃里克·赫布斯特：99财年：99,007美元：00财年：99,238美元：99,223美元。赫布斯特博士将继续他的研究项目，他试图理解和利用化学来解释和指导对分子的天文观测，并更好地理解星际和星际物体。感兴趣的天文区域包括富碳星际外壳、热分子核、反射星云、新星、冷星际云、半透明云和年轻星体周围的圆盘。在此获奖期间，将进行广泛的建模研究，并对集团的标准模型进行改进。很大一部分研究时间花在相关气相和表面过程的理论研究上。***

Eric Herbst Ohio State University FY 98: $99,007 FY 99: $99,238 FY 00: $99,223 Interstellar Astrochemistry. Dr. Herbst will continue a research program in which he seeks to understand and utilize chemistry to explain and guide astronomical observations of molecules, and to better our understanding of interstellar and circumstellar objects. The astronomical regions of interest include carbon rich circumstellar shells, hot molecular cores, reflection nebulae, novae, cold interstellar clouds, translucent clouds, and disks around young stellar objects. During this award period a wide variety of modeling studies will be pursued, to be backed up with improvements to the group's standard models. A significant portion of the research time is spent on theoretical studies of relevant gas-phase and surface processes. ***
