In dense starless and protostellar cores, the relative abundance of deuterated species to their non-deuterated counterparts can become orders of magnitude greater than in the local interstellar medium. This enhancement proceeds through multiple pathways in the gas phase and on dust grains, where the chemistry is strongly dependent on the physical conditions. In this Chapter, we discuss how sensitive, high resolution observations with the ngVLA of emission from deuterated molecules will trace both the dense gas structure and kinematics on the compact physical scales required to track the gravitational collapse of star-forming cores and the subsequent formation of young protostars and circumstellar accretion regions. Simultaneously, such observations will play a critical role in tracing the chemical history throughout the various phases of star and planet formation. Many low-J transitions of key deuterated species, along with their undeuterated counterparts, lie within the 60-110 GHz frequency window, the lower end of which is largely unavailable with current facilities and instrumentation. The combination of sensitivity and angular resolution provided only by the ngVLA will enable unparalleled detailed studies of the physics and chemistry of the earliest stages of star formation.
The science case and associated science requirements for a next-generation Very Large Array (ngVLA) are described, highlighting the five key science goals developed out of a community-driven vision of the highest scientific priorities in the next dec
Observations with modern radio telescopes have revealed that classical novae are far from the simple, spherically symmetric events they were once assumed to be. It is now understood that novae provide excellent laboratories to study several astrophys
The next-generation Very Large Array (ngVLA) is an astronomical observatory planned to operate at centimeter wavelengths (25 to 0.26 centimeters, corresponding to a frequency range extending from 1.2 to 116 GHz). The observatory will be a synthesis r
Planets assemble in the midplanes of protoplanetary disks. The compositions of dust and gas in the disk midplane region determine the compositions of nascent planets, including their chemical hospitality to life. In this context, the distributions of
Energy stored in the magnetic field in the solar atmosphere above active regions is a key driver of all solar activity (e.g., solar flares and coronal mass ejections), some of which can affect life on Earth. Radio observations provide a unique diagno
