Our look back at the Astrochemical Literature for the month of October 2023.

Your host this week is Brett McGuire, with special guests Thanja Lamberts and Brandt Gaches.

Grab & Go summaries for you this week are on our website: coffee.astrochem.net.

Our espresso machine is down, so we’ve got single-origin brew for you rather than a double shot:

The Astrochemistry Low-energy Electron Cross-Section (ALeCS) database I. Semi-empirical electron-impact ionization cross-section calculations and ionization rates

Our percolator also acted up a bit this month, and is giving us a look back at the first detections of interstellar molecules in space at all … viewed through the lens of newspaper articles from the years 1937-1941.

Check out the ACS Astrocheminar Webseries, restarting this fall (http://astro.phys-acs.org/AstroCheminar.html).
