This important book describes the basic principles of astrochemistry an interdisciplinary field combining astronomy, physics, and chemistry with particular emphasis on its physical and chemical background. Chemical processes in diffuse clouds, dense quiescent molecular clouds, star-forming regions, and protoplanetary disks are discussed. A brief introduction to molecular spectroscopy and observational techniques is also presented. These contents provide astronomers with a comprehensive understanding of how interstellar matter is evolved and brought into stars and planets, which is...

The authors give an overview of atomic diffusion as applied to all types of stars, showing where it plays an essential role and how it can be implemented in modelling. The dominant effects of atomic diffusion are accompanied by more subtle effects on a large number of structural properties throughout evolution.
