| Abstract: |
In this contribution we present a census of results from the Herschel
Space Observatory regarding molecules in space. With ALMA coming
online we frame our discussion towards what the Herschel
results are telling us about chemistry in space and how we can
use ALMA to look deeper. Key aspects to be discussed include
the chemistry of organics in hot cores based on
near complete spectral scans obtained by Herschel
covering from 460 GHz to 1.9 THz with 1 MHz resolution.
We discuss some of the results that arise from our model of the
full spectrum and their synergy with ALMA. Finally, we present a new detection of
the fundamental transition of Hydrogen Deuteride towards the closest young
planet-forming disk, TW Hya. We discuss how this detection can aid in resolving
the uncertainty regarding the disk gas mass. |
