Primordial D abundance Measure using gas clouds that are seen in absorption against the light of an unrelated background light source (typically, a quasar) (Adams 1976). (D/H)prim ~ 25-28 ppm (Cooke et al. 2018; Zavarigin et al. 2018) Measure from the analysis of CMB observation data. (D/H)prim ~ 27 ppm (Cyburt et al. 2003; Coc et al. 2004; Dunkley et al. 2009)
Deuterium in the Local ISM ~83 − 92% of the primordial deuterium at the solar circle. Very close to the primordial value at low metallicity. Decreases towards higher metallicity, with very small scatter between D & O abundance. van der voort+, 2017
Deuterium in the Local ISM The D/H ratio measured from Copernicus, HST, IMAPS & FUSE shows large variations from sightline to sightline through the local ISM (Linsky et al. 2006; 2009). Linsky 2009
D Reduction: Astration Conversion of D into other elements by nuclear fusion in stars; Problems: Regions separated by only a few hundred pc have extremely different star formation histories; No other evidence of such variations in star formation activity. Turbulent diffusion has not homogenized the elemental abundances in the gas; Turbulent mixing is expected to be effective at mixing gas over length scales of hundreds of pc on 109 yr time scales.
Problem with Astration The expected associated variations of O/H is not observed. No anticorrelation of O-D abundance: Not astration; Other process! Draine 2006
Depletion of D: Role of Dust Carbonaceous grains & PAHs are a possible reposi- tory of missing D: Carbonaceous interstellar grains could incorporate enough deuterium atoms to substantially reduce the D abundance in the gas phase. Variations of (D/H)gas Variations of D sequestered in dust grains from one sightline to another. Draine 2006

Summary Deuterium synthesis and depletion is of great importance and interests; Carbonaceous dust grains and PAHs could be a repository of the cosmic D, and a reason for different D/H abundance observed along different lines of sight; A systematic theoretical study of deuterated PAHs is urgent, and with our study one can get the D abundance easily from the observed C-D vibrational features.
