Radiation sputtering of hydrocarbon ices at Europa-relevant temperatures

Sankhabrata Chandra, Bryana L. Henderson, Murthy S. Gudipati

The surfaces of some icy moons, such as Jupiter's moon Europa, are heavily bombarded by energetic particles that can alter the surface materials and affect the composition of its e…

Electron-induced chemistry and sputtering of volatile species from amorphous and crystalline water ice

Yogeshwar Nath Mishra, Sankhabrata Chandra, Murthy S. Gudipati +3

Electron irradiation of water-rich ices plays a significant role in initiating the chemical and physical processes on the surface of airless icy bodies in radiation environments su…

Electron-induced CO2 and hydrocarbon sputtering of functionalized hydrocarbons in icy planetary analogs

Sankhabrata Chandra, Bryana L. Henderson, Murthy S. Gudipati

CO2 has been detected in both the tenuous exosphere and surface chaos regions of Europa, but it is still unclear whether this CO2 is generated in situ by radiolysis or whether it i…

Experimental Investigation of the Photochemical Production of Hydrocarbons in Warm Gas Giant Exoplanet Atmospheres

Benjamin Fleury, Yves Benilan, Olivia Venot +3

In warm (equilibrium temperature <1000 K) gas giant exoplanet atmospheres, the observation of trace species in abundances deviating from thermochemical equilibrium predictions coul…

Thermal Behavior of Astrophysical Amorphous Molecular Ices

Murthy S. Gudipati, Benjamin Fleury, Robert Wagner +3

Ice is a major component of astrophysical environment - from interstellar molecular clouds through protoplanetary disks to evolved solar systems. Ice and complex organic matter coe…
