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…
Investigating the Efficiency of Explosion Chemistry as a Source of Complex Organic Molecules in TMC-1
Jonathan Holdship, Jonathan Rawlings, Serena Viti +3
Many species of complex organic molecules (COMs) have been observed in several astrophysical environments but it is not clear how they are produced, particularly in cold, quiescent…
Interstellar dimethyl ether gas-phase formation: a quantum chemistry and kinetics study
Dimitrios Skouteris, Nadia Balucani, Cecilia Ceccarelli +4
Dimethyl ether is one of the most abundant interstellar complex organic molecules. Yet its formation route remains elusive. In this work, we have performed electronic structure and…
