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,…
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…
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…
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…
