Gas-phase formation routes of dimethyl sulfide in the interstellar medium

Gabriella Di Genova, Nadia Balucani, Luca Mancini +3

Context: Dimethyl sulfide (DMS; CHSCH) is an organosulfur compound that has been suggested as a potential biosignature in exoplanetary atmospheres. In addition to its tenta…

Quantum chemical computations of gas-phase glycolaldehyde deuteration and constraints to its formation route

F. Vazart, C. Ceccarelli, D. Skouteris +1

Despite the detection of numerous interstellar complex organic molecules (iCOMs) for decades, it is still a matter of debate whether they are synthesized in the gas-phase or on the…

Quantum mechanical simulations of the radical-radical chemistry on icy surfaces

Joan Enrique-Romero, Albert Rimola, Ceccarelli +3

The formation of the interstellar complex organic molecules (iCOMs) is a hot topic in astrochemistry. One of the main paradigms trying to reproduce the observations postulates that…

Theoretical computations on the efficiency of acetaldehyde formation on interstellar icy grains

Joan Enrique-Romero, Cecilia Ceccarelli, Albert Rimola +3

Interstellar grains are known to be important actors in the formation of interstellar molecules such as H, water, ammonia, and methanol. It has been suggested that the so-calle…

Gas-phase formation of acetaldehyde: review and new theoretical computations

Fanny Vazart, Cecilia Ceccarelli, Nadia Balucani +2

Among all the interstellar complex organic molecules (iCOMs), acetaldehyde is one of the most widely detected species. The question of its formation route(s) is, therefore, of a ma…
