  2. Astrochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrochemistry

    For the study of the recourses of chemical elements and molecules in the universe is developed the mathematical model of the molecules composition distribution in the interstellar environment on thermodynamic potentials by professor M.Yu. Dolomatov using methods of the probability theory, the mathematical and physical statistics and the ...

    For example, the vibrational lines of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were identified in 1984, [6] showing the class of molecules is very common in space, [7] but it took until 2021 to identify any specific PAHs through their rotational lines. [8] [9] The carbon star CW Leonis. The visible shells of circumstellar material were ejected ...

  4. Cosmochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmochemistry

    Meteorites are often studied as part of cosmochemistry. Cosmochemistry (from Ancient Greek κόσμος (kósmos) 'universe' and χημεία (khēmeía) 'chemistry') or chemical cosmology is the study of the chemical composition of matter in the universe and the processes that led to those compositions. [1]

  5. Spacecraft propulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacecraft_propulsion

    Spacecraft propulsion technology can be of several types, such as chemical, electric or nuclear. They are distinguished based on the physics of the propulsion system and how thrust is generated. Other experimental and more theoretical types are also included, depending on their technical maturity.

  6. Tellurium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tellurium

    Tellurium is a chemical element; it has symbol Te and atomic number 52. It is a brittle, mildly toxic, rare, silver-white metalloid. Tellurium is chemically related to selenium and sulfur, all three of which are chalcogens. It is occasionally found in its native form as elemental crystals.

  7. Nucleosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleosynthesis

    Nucleosynthesis in stars and their explosions later produced the variety of elements and isotopes that we have today, in a process called cosmic chemical evolution. The amounts of total mass in elements heavier than hydrogen and helium (called 'metals' by astrophysicists) remains small (few percent), so that the universe still has approximately ...

  8. Stellar chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_chemistry

    The significance of stellar chemical composition is an open ended question at this point. Some research asserts that a greater abundance of certain elements (such as carbon, sodium, silicon, and magnesium) in the stellar mass are necessary for a star's inner solar system to be habitable over long periods of time.
