SUMMARY:Prebiotic Chemistry on Other Worlds - Paul B. Rimmer (University o
 f Cambridge)
DTSTART:20170508T131500Z
DTEND:20170508T141500Z
UID:TALK72058@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr Alex Archibald
DESCRIPTION:Given that the prebiotic inventory necessary for life was like
 ly produced photochemically\, I talk about how we can experimentally deter
 mine how effective the ultraviolet (UV) photochemistry is versus bimolecul
 ar reactions that happen in the absence of the UV light (‘dark chemistry
 ’). I discuss what stellar UV fields are necessary for building up this 
 prebiotic inventory on exoplanets\, considering both the quiescent stellar
  emission and the effect of flares and coronal mass ejections.
