Chemistry of Circumstellar Shells

  • Conference paper
Cosmic Chemistry

Part of the book series: Reviews in Modern Astronomy ((MOD.ASTRONOMY,volume 1))

Abstract

This review is concerned with the chemistry of expanding envelopes around cool, late-type stars. It describes the properties of these objects relevant for their chemistry, and the observed molecular abundances. The discussion of the chemistry of layers just above the photosphere is very difficult because of their complexity. Modeling of radical and ion photochemistry is now successful in accounting for the observed species, often complex, observed by radioastronomy in the outer shells.
