摘要
Interstellar clouds are the sites where many molecules believed important for the early life are produced. The collapse of such clouds may give birth to stars hosting planetary systems. During the formation of such systems, molecules formed in the molecular cloud, aggregated into grains, can be incorporated in protoplanets, influencing the chemical evolution of the environment, probably affecting the chances for appearance of life on rocky planets located at the stellar habitable zones. Moreover, small bodies, like comets, can carry some of these molecules to inner planets of their systems. Using astrochemical equations, we describe the evolution of the abundance of such molecules at the gas phase from several initial interstellar compositions. These varying initial chemical compositions consider the change of the elemental abundances predicted by a self-consistent model of the chemical evolution of the Galaxy. A system of first order differential equations that describes the abundances of each molecule is solved numerically. This poster describes an innovative attempt to link the astrochemistry equations with the Galactic chemical evolution.
