Database project introduces expert-vetted reaction rates and modeling code for astrochemistry, enhancing chemical simulations of interstellar clouds and planetary atmospheres.

Key Points

Introduce the KInetic Database for Astrochemistry (KIDA), an expert-vetted repository of gas-phase reaction rate coefficients and uncertainties for astrochemical modeling.
Curated gas-phase chemical reactions and rate coefficients with uncertainty parameters for the interstellar medium, circumstellar envelopes, and planetary atmospheres through expert evaluation.
Generated an annual reaction network subset (kida.uva) tailored for simulating dense interstellar clouds between temperatures of 10 K and 300 K.
Developed the Nahoon numerical code to model time-dependent gas-phase chemistry for zero-dimensional and one-dimensional astrophysical environments.
Established a community-accessible kinetic database containing expert-evaluated rate coefficients and uncertainty factors for gas-phase astrochemical networks.
Released the Nahoon simulation code to evaluate time-dependent gas-phase chemical evolutions in zero- and one-dimensional interstellar environments.
