Introduction

Note

Go quick into observations of molecules and link to Astrochemistry chapter

• Focus on the observation techniques (and water!)

Many molecules have been detected into the ISM

• cf list from cologne database

All of those molecules have been detected in the gas phase via their ** rotational or electronic transitions**.

A few of them have been detected in the solid phase in the form of ices via their vibrational modes.

• COMS: Complex Organic Molecules are molecules with six or more atoms.

Large molecules are difficult to observe in spacetf
