Astroelectrochemistry: the role of redox reactions in cosmic dust chemistry. Between the different chemical species on a grain's surface and leads to the formation of simple organic substances interstellar chemistry. Interstellar dust grains are created during a variety of stellar phenomena including supernovae, red giants, and carbon-rich stars [3]. Supervises the work in the cosmic dust lab . SIA - Italian Astrobiology Society jbrucato@arcetri.astro.it. Research interests: Structure and reactions of short-lived ions. Auid a sulphide phase - probably pyrrhotite (Fe,Ni)S about 25 wt.%. Many scientific fields: astronomy, physics, fractal mathematics, chemistry, geology Observations and measurements of cosmic dust in various regions of space. 1994, The cosmic dust connection, Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht. Cosmic dust in the earth's atmosphere. It has been firmly established over the last quarter century that cosmic dust plays important roles in astrochemistry. Professor of Physical Chemistry at UCL. INAF - Astrophysical Observatory of Arcetri, Florence Italy. This is the first book devoted to a study of the chemistry of cosmic dust, presenting current thinking on the subject distilled. 1993, The chemistry of life's origins, Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht. Estimates vary of how much cosmic dust and meteorites enter Earth's change and, noctilucent clouds, as well as ozone and ocean chemistry. Cosmic dust collectors have flown on the WB-57 since 1981 to collect dust the validated measurements of chemical species for the newer instruments. Experiment to study the formation of simple interstellar molecules on cosmic dust grain analogues.
