Structure of crystalline water ice formed through neon matrix sublimation under cryogenic and vacuum conditions

Reo Sato, So Taniguchi, Naoki Numadate +1

Ice I has three forms depending on the stacking arrangements of its layers: hexagonal ice Ih, cubic ice Ic, and stacking disordered ice Isd. Below ~60 K, amorphous water becomes me…

Diffusion activation energy and desorption activation energy for astrochemically relevant species on water ice show no clear relation

Kenji Furuya, Tetsuya Hama, Yasuhiro Oba +3

The activation energy for desorption (Edes) and that for surface diffusion (Esd) of adsorbed molecules on dust grains are two of the most important parameters for the chemistry in…

Chemical and Physical Characterization of the Isolated Protostellar Source CB68: FAUST. IV

Muneaki Imai, Yoko Oya, Brian Svoboda +1

Chemical diversity of low-mass protostellar sources has so far been recognized, and environmental effects are invoked as its origin. In this context, observations of isolated proto…

FAUST I. The hot corino at the heart of the prototypical Class I protostar L1551 IRS5

E. Bianchi, C. J. Chandler, C. Ceccarelli +63

The study of hot corinos in Solar-like protostars has been so far mostly limited to the Class 0 phase, hampering our understanding of their origin and evolution. In addition, recen…
