Molecules in the Envelopes of Late-Type Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 August 2017
Extract
With physical conditions very similar to those of molecular clouds, circumstellar envelopes (CSEs) are the sites for a rich chemistry. Hovever their simpler geometries, the variations in elemental composition, and the short time scales of the outflows, make them objects of particular interest to the astrochemist. For a recent and general review of circumstellar chemistry the reader may refer to Omont (1990). Here we give only a very short overview (Section 2), then we report on some of the very recent observational advances in this field (Section 3).
