Interstellar disparity: N- vs O-bearing molecules: A multidisciplinary perspective across interstellar environments

Mathilde Bouvier, Joan Enrique-Romero, Marta De Simone

Observations of O- and N-bearing molecules reveal systematic chemical differentiation across a wide range of interstellar environments. This pattern is peculiar and its origin like…

Toward Unraveling Cyanopolyyne Surface Chemistry: A Preview on Isolated Systems From HC_{3}N to Ethyl Cyanide and Propylamine

Marten T. Raaphorst, Joan Enrique-Romero, Thanja Lamberts

Cyanopolyynes, a family of nitrogen containing carbon chains, are common in the interstellar medium and possibly form the backbone of species relevant to prebiotic chemistry. Follo…

Formation of S-bearing complex organic molecules in interstellar clouds via ice reactions with C2H2, HS, and atomic H

Julia C. Santos, Joan Enrique-Romero, Thanja Lamberts +2

The chemical network governing interstellar sulfur has been the topic of unrelenting discussion for the past decades due to the conspicuous discrepancy between its expected and obs…

Streamers feeding the SVS13-A protobinary system: astrochemistry reveals accretion shocks?

Eleonora Bianchi, Ana López-Sepulcre, Cecilia Ceccarelli +6

We report ALMA high-angular resolution (~ 50 au) observations of the binary system SVS13-A. More specifically, we analyse deuterated water (HDO) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission.…

Binding Energies of Interstellar Relevant S-bearing Species on Water Ice Mantles: A Quantum Mechanical Investigation

J. Perrero, J. Enrique-Romero, S. Ferrero +5

Binding energies (BEs) are one of the most important parameters for astrochemical modeling determining, because they govern whether a species stays in the gas-phase or is frozen on…

Non-Energetic Formation of Ethanol via CCH Reaction with Interstellar H2O Ices. A Computational Chemistry Study

Jessica Perrero, Juan Enrique-Romero, Berta Martínez Bachs +4

Ethanol (CHCHOH) is a relatively common molecule, often found in star forming regions. Recent studies suggest that it could be a parent molecule of several so-called inters…

Quantum mechanical simulations of the radical-radical chemistry on icy surfaces

Joan Enrique-Romero, Albert Rimola, Ceccarelli +3

The formation of the interstellar complex organic molecules (iCOMs) is a hot topic in astrochemistry. One of the main paradigms trying to reproduce the observations postulates that…

H2 formation on interstellar grains and the fate of reaction energy

Stefano Pantaleone, Joan Enrique-Romero, Cecilia Ceccarelli +4

Molecular hydrogen is the most abundant molecular species in the Universe. While no doubts exist that it is mainly formed on the interstellar dust grain surfaces, many details of t…

Chemical desorption versus energy dissipation: insights from ab-initio molecular dynamics of HCO formation

Stefano Pantaleone, Joan Enrique-Romero, Cecilia Ceccarelli +3

Molecular clouds are the cold regions of the Milky Way where stars form. They are enriched by rather complex molecules. Many of these molecules are believed to be synthesized on th…
