¾ÅÖÝÓ°Ôº in Space

13 October 2011, Reading, United Kingdom


Introduction
To celebrate the International Year of ¾ÅÖÝÓ°Ôº, Dr Matthew Almond will give a public seminar on '¾ÅÖÝÓ°Ôº in Space'.

How can we understand anything about the chemical processes occurring in Space, an environment where (with a few very limited exceptions) we cannot collect samples? The answer is by using spectroscopy. This seminar explores the background to chemical analysis using spectroscopy and discusses how this has been used to explore "¾ÅÖÝÓ°Ôº in Space" from the discovery of the Fraunhoffer lines in the early nineteenth century, through the mysterious "Diffuse Interstellar Bands" and "Unidentified Infrared Emission" to the modern spectroscopic satellites such as the Hubble Space Telescope.
