Abstract

A presolar (molecular) cloud supplied dust and gas to the solar nebula ancestral to our solar system. The dust originated in different varieties of star including low mass stars at the end of their evolution and exploding supernovae. They include silicates and graphite. The gas is predominantly molecular hydrogen (H2). Calcium-aluminium-rich inclusions (CAIs) and chondrules are found in meteorites which yield some of the oldest ages for the solar system. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread; at low temperatures they may be transformed into more complex organic molecules by UV radiation.
