A novel framework to study the impact of binding energy distributions on the chemistry of dust grains

T. Grassi, S. Bovino, P. Caselli +3

The evaporation of molecules from dust grains is crucial to understand some key aspects of the star- and the planet-formation processes. During the warm-up phase the presence of yo…
