Planetary Systems from Interstellar Ingredients
Every year, more and more different types of complex organic molecules are discovered in infant star-forming regions. In my series of works, I demonstrated that the molecules found towards Sun-like protostars are qualitatively related to those found in comets in our Solar System. The outstanding challenge is that we do not know if these molecules have been inherited, or destroyed and reformed. However, the journey of material from prestellar cores and protostars to protoplanetary disks and planetary building blocks is of key importance for our understanding of the composition of (exo)planets and their atmospheres, and the origin of life. In my ERC project, I aim to quantify to what extent…
