The KIDA2015 best poster award was given to Mikhail Doronin for his poster "Experimental and theoretical study of CH3CN/CH3NC adsorption on graphite, quartz and H2O ice".
KIDA is a public database of gas phase reactions for astrochemistry online since 2009 (http://kida.obs.u-bordeaux1.fr). Following workshops which happenened every two years since 2007, we organize a new KIDA workshop from May 5th to 7th 2015 in Paris at the CNES (French Space Agencey) in downtown Paris.
The aim of this workshop is to foster the diffusion of results (both from theoretical and experimental laboratory chemistry and astrophysics) concerning the chemistry of the interstellar medium and (exo)planetary atmospheres.
KIDA will soon be extended to surface processes. To that aim, a surface database prototype is being developed. This prototype along with a new version of the KIDA website will be presented at the workshop.
The program will include presentations both on physico-chemistry of surfaces and the gas phase (theoretical and experimental aspects) and on astrophysical modeling with ties to astrochemistry. You can submit oral and poster contributions, a flash presentation of posters will be organised early during the workshop. There is no registration fees but you have to register since the CNES requires a list of participants.
Scientific topics:
New results in gas phase chemistry
Heterogeneous chemistry and grain surface processes
Astrophysical modeling of the Interstellar Medium
Astrophysical modeling of (exo)planetary atmosphères.
Invited speakers :
Matthieu Bertin (LERMA)
Sophie Carles (Université Rennes 1)
Berenger Gans (ISMO)
