Condensation sequence of circumstellar cluster seeds (CSCCS)
David Gobrecht
Traditionally, the condensation sequence of circumstellar dust is predicted based on the thermodynamic stabilities of specific condensates in the macroscopic bulk phase. However, a…
Mechanisms of SiO oxidation: Implications for dust formation
Stefan Andersson, David Gobrecht, Rosendo Valero
Reactions of SiO molecules have been postulated to initiate efficient formation of silicate dust particles in outflows around dying (AGB) stars. Both OH radicals and HO molecul…
The Ionization Energies of Dust-Forming Metal Oxide Clusters
David Gobrecht, Jan Philip Sindel, Helena Lecoq-Molinos +1
Stellar dust grains are predominantly composed of mineralic, anorganic material forming in the circumstellar envelopes of oxygen-rich AGB stars. However, the initial stage of the d…
The vertical and adiabatic ionization energies of silicon carbide clusters, (SiC), with n=1-12
David Gobrecht
Silicon carbide (SiC) is one of the major cosmic dust components in carbon-rich environments. However, the formation of SiC dust is not well understood. In particular, the initial…
