Infrared spectroscopy of astrophysical ice analogs at oblique angles
Cristóbal González Díaz, Hector Carrascosa, Guillermo M. Muñoz Caro
In astrochemical exploration, infrared (IR) spectroscopy is vital for understanding the composition and structure of ice in various space environments. This article explores the im…
UV-photoprocessing of acetic acid (CH3COOH)-bearing interstellar ice analogs
C. del Burgo Olivares, H. Carrascosa, B. Escribano +2
Acetic acid (CH3COOH) was detected in the gas toward interstellar clouds, hot cores, protostars and comets. Its formation in ice mantles was proposed and acetic acid awaits detecti…
Physical properties of methanol (CHOH) ice as a function of temperature: Density, infrared band strengths, and crystallization
H. Carrascosa, M. Á. Satorre, B. Escribano +2
The presence of methanol among the common ice components in interstellar clouds and protostellar envelopes has been confirmed by the James Webb Space Telescope. Methanol is often d…
Density and infrared band strength of interstellar carbon monoxide (CO) ice analogues
Cristóbal González Díaz, Hector Carrascosa, Guillermo M. Muñoz Caro +2
The motivation to study experimentally CO ice under mimicked interstellar conditions is supported by the large CO gas abundances and ubiquitous presence of CO in icy grain mantles.…
Synthesis of the first nitrogen-heterocycles in interstellar ice analogs containing methylamine (CHNH) exposed to UV radiation: Formation of trimethylentriamine (TMT, c-(-CH-NH)) and hexamethylentetramine (HMT, (CH)N)
H. Carrascosa, C. González Díaz, G. M. Muñoz Caro +2
Hexamethylentetramine has drawn a lot of attention due to its potential to produce prebiotic species. This work aims to gain a better understanding in the chemical processes concer…
2-aminooxazole in astrophysical environments: IR spectra and destruction cross sections for energetic processing
Belén Maté, Ricardo Carrasco-Herrera, Vicente Timón +6
2-aminooxazole (2AO), a N-heterocyclic molecule, has been proposed as an intermediate in prebiotic syntheses. It has been demonstrated that it can be synthesized from small molecul…
Photon-induced desorption of larger species in UV-irradiated methane (CH4) ice
H. Carrascosa, G. A. Cruz-Díaz, G. M. Muñoz Caro +2
At the low temperatures found in the interior of dense clouds and circumstellar regions, along with HO and smaller amounts of species such as CO, CO, or CHOH, the infra…
