    Cosmic evolution of the biogenic elements and compounds (1993)
    Springer
    The astronomy and astrophysics review 5 (1993), S. 1-35 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-0754
    Keywords: Galaxy ; evolution-Stars ; abundances, mass loss-Interstellar medium ; dust, molecules-Solar System ; formation

    Topics: Physics
    Notes: Summary This paper traces the evolution of the biogenic elements H, C, N, O, P and S from their creation by cosmic nucleosynthesis to their inclusion in living systems on the surface of the Earth. Evidence for the presence of significant prebiotic molecules in interstellar clouds and in primitive meteorites is reviewed. The possible relevance of this discovery to the origin of life on Earth is assessed in the light of evidence suggesting that such molecules could not easily be synthesized in a primitive CO2-dominated terrestrial atmosphere.

    Notes: Summary The presence of solid carbon monoxide (CO) on interstellar grains was confirmed observationally in 1984 with the detection of infrared absorption at 4.67μm wavelength in several molecular clouds. Subsequent observations suggest that solid CO is ubiquitous in the quiescent molecular cloud environment. In some lines of sight, the degree of frosting on to grains is sufficient to reduce appreciably the abundance of CO remaining in the gas, a result of considerable astrophysical significance: in addition to its importance as a tracer of molecular material, CO is vital to the production of many polyatomic molecules by gas phase reaction schemes, and its depletion could have a dramatic effect on the abundances of more complex carbon-bearing molecules. The infrared spectrum of solid CO provides an important diagnostic of the chemical composition and thermal evolution of grain mantles, leading to the prediction that CO2 is also present in solid form. As it is now some six years since observations of interstellar solid CO were first reported, this is an appropriate time to review the topic and to suggest some directions for future research. The introduction (Sect. 1) attempts to place the subject in its broader astrophysical context. The infrared observations and their implications are discussed in detail in Sect. 2. The question of the degree of CO depletion implied by the observations of both solid state and gas phase CO is re-examined in Sect. 3. We assess the possibility of CO detection by means of solid state absorption or luminescence in the ultraviolet in Sect. 4. Future prospects are summarised in the final section.

    INTERSTELLAR ICES STUDIED WITH THE INFRARED SPACE OBSERVATORY (1997)
    Springer
    Origins of life and evolution of the biospheres 27 (1997), S. 101-113

    Notes: Abstract The Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) was launched by the European Space Agency on 17 November 1995. The availability of spectra from the Short Wavelength Spectrometer (SWS) on ISO is a landmark in the study of interstellar ices and organics; they provide a wealth of data in the 2–20µ region of the spectrum covering the principal solid state resonances of condensed matter in interstellar clouds. We thus have the opportunity to study many species likely to be relevant to the inventory of CNO-bearing interstellar material present at the formation of our own and other planetary systems. This paper presents a brief overview of what has been learned from the data available so far. A comparison is made between the compositions of ices in molecular clouds, protostellar condensations and comets. Key areas of uncertainty are highlighted as a basis for future research.

    Notes: [Auszug] WHITTET REPLIES-The conclusion drawn by Hoyle and Wickramasinghe must be treated with caution, as it is based on the assumption that C-H bond absorption in organic polymers is the only possible explanation of the long-wavelength 'shoulder' in the 3.1-p? interstellar ice band profile. As pointed out ...

    Notes: [Auszug] GK Persei underwent a classical nova outburst in 1901, reaching visual magnitude (V) of 0.2 on 22 February 1901. Subsequently, it declined at 0.23 mag per day, reaching a minimum typically of V = 13.1 (ref. 2). In contrast with other objects of this type, GK Per shows dwarf nova-like outbursts of ...

    Notes: [Auszug] IT has become fashionable to discuss the possibility that interstellar grains may contain significant quantities of organic material (see réf. 1 and refs therein). I draw attention here to new data which preclude the presence of most organic solids as a significant component of the grains in ...

    The ratio of total to selective absorption in dark clouds (1975)
    Springer
    Astrophysics and space science 38 (1975), S. L3 
    Details
    ISSN: 1572-946X
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Physics
    Notes: Abstract Evidence relating to the value ofR=A V/EB-V appropriate to discrete dark clouds in the interstellar medium is discussed. The polarimetric method of evaluatingR recently proposed by Serkowski, Mathewson and Ford gives results consistent with extinction curve determinations. A value ofR∼4.4 appears to apply to the most reddened stars in the ϱ Oph complex, suggesting the existence of an upper size limit for the grains. If the grains grow by accretion of the heavier elements from the surrounding gas, as suggested by Carrasco, Strom and Strom, then the availability of material sets a limitation on mantle growth consistent with the observed increase inR.
