Origin Of Life: Astrophysics, Astrochemistry

Scientific paper

We review the physical and chemical processes that form and shape organic matter in space. In particular we discuss the chemical pathways of organic matter in the interstellar medium (ISM), their evolution in protoplanetary disks and their integration into solar system material. Furthermore we investigate the role of impacts and the delivery of organic matter to the prebiotic Earth. The basic building blocks of life are widespread in our Milky Way as well as in other galaxies. This paper provides a short summary of our recent review article (Ehrenfreund et al., 2002).
