Christian Eistrup

I am a Ph.D. student in astronomy at Leiden Observatory in the Netherlands. My work is focused on understanding how planets form, and how the chemical evolution in protoplanetary disks affects the chemistry of the resulting planets. I am supervised by Dr. Catherine Walsh, and Prof.dr. Ewine F. van Dishoeck.

My PhD thesis: "From Midplane to Planets: The Chemical Fingerprint of a Disk"

  • Chapter 1: Introduction
  • Chapter 2: Setting the volatile composition of (exo)planet-building material. Does chemical evolution in disk midplanes matter? (published in Astronomy and Astrophysics 2016)
  • Chapter 3: Molecular abundances and C/O ratios in chemically evolving planet-forming disk midplanes (published in Astronomy and Astrophysics 2018)
  • Chapter 4: Formation of cometary O2 ice and related ice species on grain-surfaces in the midplane of the pre-Solar nebula (accepted for publication in Astronomy and Astrophysics)
  • Chapter 5: Comparing protoplanetary disk midplane chemical evolution with cometary compositions. An emerging chemical evolution taxonomy for comets (Astronomy and Astrophysics, in prep.)
