Formation of the interstellar sugar precursor, (Z)-1,2-ethenediol, through radical reactions on dust grains
Juan Carlos del Valle, Pilar Redondo, Johannes Kästner +1
In recent years, the continued detection of complex organic molecules of prebiotic interest has refueled the interest on a panspermic origin of life. The prebiotic molecule glycera…
The rich interstellar reservoir of dinitriles: Detection of malononitrile and maleonitrile in TMC-1
M. Agundez, C. Bermudez, C. Cabezas +7
While the nitrile group is by far the most prevalent one among interstellar molecules, the existence of interstellar dinitriles (molecules containing two -CN groups) has recently b…
In-Depth Exploration of Catalytic Sites on Amorphous Solid Water: I. The Astrosynthesis of Aminomethanol
Giulia M. Bovolenta, Gabriela Silva-Vera, Stefano Bovino +3
Chemical processes taking place on ice-grain mantles are pivotal to the complex chemistry of interstellar environments. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the…
Methane Formation Efficiency on Icy Grains: Role of Adsorption States
Masashi Tsuge, Germán Molpeceres, Yuri Aikawa +1
Methane (CH4) is one of the major components of the icy mantle of cosmic dust prevalent in cold, dense regions of interstellar media, playing an important role in the synthesis of…
Surface Diffusion of Carbon Atoms as a Driver of Interstellar Organic Chemistry
Masashi Tsuge, Germán Molpeceres, Yuri Aikawa +1
Many interstellar complex organic molecules (COMs) are believed to be produced on the surfaces of icy grains at low temperatures. Atomic carbon is considered responsible for the sk…
Processing of hydroxylamine, NH2OH, an important prebiotic precursor, on interstellar ices
Gerán Molpeceres, Víctor. M. Rivilla, Kenji Furuya +3
Hydroxylamine, NH2OH, is one of the already detected interstellar molecules with the highest prebiotic potential. Yet, the abundance of this molecule found by astronomical observat…
