    Aim


  • Interstellar space as a 'laboratory' in extreme conditions has stimulated many new researches in the fields of physics and chemistry. At the same time, physical and chemical points of view are becoming indispensable for the study of astronomy and astrophysics. This workshop is proposed to offer an opportunity to communicate and exchange research results among researchers who are interested in physics and chemistry in space from the various points of view. In particular, we focus on experimental and theoretical developments in studies of bulk, atomic, and molecular processes relevant to astrophysics, and we discuss applications to present and future astronomical observations. Participants from wide fields: chemistry, planetary sciences, physics, and astronomy are welcome to this workshop.
