Review
Carbon in the Universe
Th. Henning,
F. Salama
Carbon is a major player in the evolutionary scheme of the
universe because of its abundance and its ability to form complex species. It is also a key element in the evolution of prebiotic molecules. The different forms of cosmic carbon are reviewed ranging from carbon atoms and carbon-bearing molecules to complex, solid-state, carbonaceous structures. The current state of knowledge is assessed on
the observational and laboratory fronts. Fundamental astrophysical implications are examined as well as the impact of these studies on the
hitherto poorly understood physical and chemical properties of carbon
materials in space.
Th. Henning is at the Astrophysikalisches Institut und
Universitäts-Sternwarte, Schillergä chen 2-3, D-07745 Jena, Germany. F. Salama is at NASA Ames Research Center
Space Science Division, Moffet Field, CA 94035-1000, USA.
