Focusing on the organic inventory of regions of star and planet formation in the interstellar medium of galaxies, this comprehensive overview of the molecular universe is an invaluable reference source for advanced undergraduates through to entry-level researchers. It includes an extensive discussion of microscopic physical and chemical processes in the universe; these play a role in the excitation, spectral characteristics, formation, and evolution of molecules in the gas phase and on grain surfaces. In addition, the latest developments in this area of molecular astrophysics provide a firm foundation for an in-depth understanding of the molecular phases of the interstellar medium. The physical and chemical properties of gaseous molecules, mixed molecular ices, and large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules and fullerenes and their role in the interstellar medium are highlighted. For those with an interest in the molecular universe, this advanced textbook bridges the gap between molecular physics, astronomy, and physical chemistry.

- Chemists interested in space will also find this very useful
- Includes detailed resources and entry points to the wider literature
- Allows the reader to engage with up to date astronomical observations from sources such as the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimetre Array and the James Webb Space Telescope
Reviews & endorsements
'I am confident that this book will become an essential standard reference book for researchers in molecular astrophysics. I recommend it to all molecular astrophysicists.' David A. Williams, The Observatory Magazine
See more reviews'… the author, an award-winning astrophysicist, has written this work as an evangelist, aiming to convert more astronomers to the study of molecules in space ... The book would be suitable for advanced students in astrophysics, chemistry, and astrobiology, and as a reference for instructors and professionals ... Highly recommended.' S. P. Maran, Choice
