Zusammenfassung:
We present a novel chemical database for gas-phase astrochemistry. Named the KInetic Database for Astrochemistry
(KIDA), this database consists of gas-phase reactions with rate coefficients and uncertainties that will be vetted
to the greatest extent possible. Submissions of measured and calculated rate coefficients are welcome, and will
be studied by experts before inclusion into the database. Besides providing kinetic information for the interstellar
medium, KIDA is planned to contain such data for planetary atmospheres and for circumstellar envelopes. Each
year, a subset of the reactions in the database (kida.uva) will be provided as a network for the simulation of the
chemistry of dense interstellar clouds with temperatures between 10 K and 300 K. We also provide a code, named
Nahoon, to study the time-dependent gas-phase chemistry of zero-dimensional and one-dimensional interstellar
sources.
