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…
A comprehensive study of the gas-phase formation network of HCN: theory, experiments, observations and models
Lisa Giani, Eleonora Bianchi, Martin Fournier +6
Cyanopolyynes are among the largest and most commonly observed interstellar Complex Organic Molecules in star-forming regions. They are believed to form primarily in the gas-phase,…
Destruction of interstellar methyl cyanide (CH3CN) via collisions with He+ ions
Luca Mancini, Emília Valença Ferreira de Aragão, Fernando Pirani +8
Methyl cyanide is one of the simplest interstellar complex organic molecules, widely detected in young solar analogues, shocked regions, protoplanetary disks and comets. CH3CN can…
Revised gas-phase formation network of methyl cyanide: the origin of methyl cyanide and methanol abundance correlation in hot corinos
Lisa Giani, Cecilia Ceccarelli, Luca Mancini +4
Methyl cyanide (CHCN) is one of the most abundant and widely spread interstellar complex organic molecules (iCOMs). Several studies found that, in hot corinos, methyl cyanide a…
Coding Cross Sections of an Electron Charge Transfer Process
Emília Valença Ferreira de Aragão, Luca Mancini, Xiao He +4
The paper presents the algorithm of a code written for computing the cross section for a charge transfer process involving a neutral molecule and a monatomic ion. The entrance and…
The S(S) + SiH(A) Reaction: Toward the Synthesis of Interstellar SiS
Luca Mancini, Marco Trinari, Emília Valença Ferreira de Aragão +2
We have performed a theoretical investigation of the S(S) + SiH(A) reaction, a possible formation route of the HSiS and SiSH cations that are alleged…
Long-Range Complex in the HC3N + CN Potential Energy Surface: Ab Initio Calculations and Intermolecular Potential
Emília Valença Ferreira de Aragão, Luca Mancini, Noelia Faginas-Lago +3
In this work we characterize an initial van der Waals adduct in the potential energy surface of reaction between cyanoacetylene HC3N and the cyano radical. The geometry of the CN-H…
A Computational Study of the Reaction Cyanoacetylene and Cyano Radical leading to 2-Butynedinitrile and Hydrogen Radical
Emília Valença Ferreira de Aragão, Noelia Faginas-Lago, Marzio Rosi +3
The present work focuses on the characterization of the reaction between cyanoacetylene and cyano radical by electronic structure calculations of the stationary points along the mi…
A theoretical investigation of the reaction between the amidogen, NH, and the ethyl, C2H5, radicals: a possible gas-phase formation route of interstellar and planetary ethanimine
Nadia Balucani, Dimitrios Skouteris, Cecilia Ceccarelli +3
The reaction between the amidogen, NH, radical and the ethyl, C2H5, radical has been investigated by performing electronic structure calculations of the underlying doublet potentia…
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…
Silicon-bearing molecules in the shock L1157-B1: first detection of SiS around a Sun-like protostar
L. Podio, C. Codella, B. Lefloch +9
The shock L1157-B1 driven by the low-mass protostar L1157-mm is an unique environment to investigate the chemical enrichment due to molecules released from dust grains. IRAM-30m an…
