Vacuum Ultraviolet Photoabsorption Spectra of Icy Isoprene and its Oligomers
R Ramachandran, S Pavithraa, J K Meka +8
Isoprene and its oligomers, terpenes, are expected to be present, along with other complex organic molecules, in the diverse environments of the ISM and in our solar system. Due to…
AQUILA: A Laboratory Facility for the Irradiation of Astrochemical Ice Analogues by keV Ions
R. Rácz, S. T. S. Kovács, G. Lakatos +11
The detection of various molecular species, including complex organic molecules relevant to biochemical and geochemical processes, in astronomical settings such as the interstellar…
Bombardment of CO ice by cosmic rays: I. Experimental insights into the microphysics of molecule destruction and sputtering
Alexei V. Ivlev, Barbara M. Giuliano, Zoltán Juhász +12
We present a dedicated experimental study of microscopic mechanisms controlling radiolysis and sputtering of astrophysical ices due to their bombardment by cosmic ray ions. Such io…
Sulfur Ion Implantations Into Condensed CO2: Implications for Europa
D. V. Mifsud, Z. Kaňuchová, P. Herczku +12
The ubiquity of sulfur ions within the Jovian magnetosphere has led to suggestions that the implantation of these ions into the surface of Europa may lead to the formation of SO2.…
Energetic Electron Irradiations of Amorphous and Crystalline Sulphur-Bearing Astrochemical Ices
Duncan V. Mifsud, Péter Herczku, Richárd Rácz +10
Laboratory experiments have confirmed that the radiolytic decay rate of astrochemical ice analogues is dependent upon the solid phase of the target ice, with some crystalline molec…
Ozone Production in Electron Irradiated CO2:O2 Ices
Duncan V. Mifsud, Zuzana Kaňuchová, Sergio Ioppolo +9
The detection of ozone (O3) in the surface ices of Ganymede, Jupiters largest moon, and of the Saturnian moons Rhea and Dione, has motivated several studies on the route of formati…
Mid-IR and VUV Spectroscopic Characterisation of Thermally Processed and Electron Irradiated CO2 Astrophysical Ice Analogues
DV Mifsud, Z Kaňuchová, S Ioppolo +19
The astrochemistry of CO2 ice analogues has been a topic of intensive investigation due to the prevalence of CO2 throughout the interstellar medium and the Solar System, as well as…
N-Graphene Synthesized in Astrochemical Ices
K K Rahul, M Ambresh, D Sahu +13
Icy mantles of benzonitrile, an aromatic with a cyanide side chain that has recently been detected in the interstellar medium, were subjected to vacuum ultraviolet photon irradiati…
