In this thesis, we have investigated the quantum dynamics of interstellar molecules,
CS and CO for collision energies in cold, of astrophysical interest to ultracold regimes, less
than 1 mK. We have reviewed the theoretical ...
Interstellar chemistry is primarily organic in nature. Around three-fourths of the
nearly 200 molecules detected to date in the interstellar medium (ISM) contain at least
one carbon atom. Carbon chain and small hydrocarbon ...
