Abstract

KIDA (for KInetic Database for Astrochemistry) is a project initiated by different communities in order to 1) improve the interaction between astrochemists and physico-chemists and 2) simplify the work of modeling the chemistry of astrophysical environments. KIDA was designed to group at the same place and with the same format all gas-phase chemical reactions useful for astrochemical simulations of the interstellar medium and planetary atmospheres. From KIDA, a subset of chemical reactions has been extracted for the cold and dense interstellar medium: kida.uva.2001.
