Molecular astrophysics is the interdisciplinary science using molecules in space to characterize physics and chemistry of astronomical objects. In star-forming regions, where stars like our Sun are born in dense, cold cocoons of dust and gas, molecules are often the only means to study the physical processes at play. Their presence and abundances are key to understand chemical evolution of star- and planet-forming material. This knowledge is crucial for understanding how our Solar System, and, ultimately, life on Earth emerged. In this project, we will create the first group in Poland in this new and interdisciplinary discipline that receives enormous attention in the astronomical community and society. We will use the state-of-the-art telescopes to determine the role of environment for star formation. The project is interesting for two companies that will use PI expertise in the infrared detectors and atmospheric models in the development of world-wide networks of telescopes. (Polish)

L’astrophysique moléculaire est la science interdisciplinaire utilisant des molécules dans l’espace pour caractériser la physique et la chimie des objets astronomiques. Dans les régions formant des étoiles, où des étoiles comme notre Soleil naissent dans des cocons denses et froids de poussière et de gaz, les molécules sont souvent le seul moyen d’étudier les processus physiques en jeu. Leur présence et leur abondance sont essentielles pour comprendre l’évolution chimique du matériel formant des étoiles et des planètes. Cette connaissance est cruciale pour comprendre comment notre Système solaire et, en fin de compte, la vie sur Terre ont émergé. Dans ce projet, nous allons créer le premier groupe en Pologne dans cette nouvelle discipline interdisciplinaire qui reçoit une grande attention dans la communauté et la société astronomiques. Nous utiliserons les télescopes de pointe pour déterminer le rôle de l’environnement pour la formation d’étoiles. Le projet est intéressant pour deux entreprises qui utiliseront l’expertise PI dans les détecteurs infrarouges et les modèles atmosphériques dans le développement de réseaux mondiaux de télescopes.
