The fundamentals of astrochemistry in the gas phase are relatively
well established, in contrast to the special relevance attributed
to processes involving interstellar dust grains - the solid
component of matter diffused among the stars.
This book presents the state of the art in relation to the ways
grains interact with gases, the catalytic role played by dust that
allows key molecular species (H2 as well as many complex, possibly
prebiotic species) to be formed on its surface - which cannot be
obtained efficiently by any other mechanisms, and the interaction
between solids (dust grains, icy mantles, cometary nuclei,
satellites of the giant planets and minor bodies in the Solar
system) in space and energetic agents such as UV photons and fast
particles.
The presence and importance of PAH, which may represent the
smallest component of the grains, is considered in relation to
possible astrobiological pathways and the ever-present mystery of
the ubiquitous presence of Diffuse Interstellar Bands and their
carriers.
