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 ratesGaches et al. arXivhttps://arxiv.org/abs/2310.10739https://alecs.brandt-gaches.space/https://github.com/AstroBrandt/ALeCS 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).
