SUMMARY:Building stars\, planets and the ingredients for life in space
\, Astronomy Colloquium\, Ewine F. van Dishoeck\, Leiden Observatory\,
Leiden University\, the Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:Thousands of planets have been discovered around stars oth
er than our
\nSun. But how and where are these exo-planets born\, a
nd why are they so
\ndifferent from those in our own solar system?
Which ingredients are
\navailable to build them? Thanks to powerf
ul new telescopes\, including
\nthe James Webb Space Telescope\, as
tronomers can now zoom in to
\nplanetary construction sites and stu
dy their composition. Water and a
\nsurprisingly rich variety of o
rganic materials are found near forming
\nstars\, including simple
sugars\, ethers\, alcohols and hydrocarbons.
\nHow are these molecu
les made under the extreme conditions in space and
\ncan they be de
livered to new planets to form the basis for life
\nelsewhere in th
e universe?
