Astrochemistry is a highly pluri-disciplinary field gathering scientists from astrophysics, physics and chemistry. In this context, the KInetic Database for Astrochemistry (KIDA) was created in 2009 to assemble the gas-phase chemical reactions and associated parameters used in the context of astrochemical numerical simulations. In 2016, the KIDA database was extended to include reactions at the surface of the grains. To promote the field of astrochemistry and advertise the efforts made to improve the kinetic data for the interstellar medium, we organise conferences bringing together the different fields of research.
The KIDA2017 AstroChemical Conference will take place in Bordeaux, France from September 26th to 29th, 2017.
Four research topics will be addressed:
* Gas phase processes
* Heterogeneous chemistry and the interactions of the gas phase with grain surfaces
* Astrochemical observations
* Astrochemical modelling
We will propose a new format of introductory 1h talks, one for each science topics, to present an overview of the methods used by these different scientific communities. A number of long talks will be reserved to invited contributions. Short talks (~15min) can be proposed along with posters.
The registration and abstract submission will be open on March 1st 2017.
The registration fee will be of of 60 euros.
