Formation of interstellar complex organic molecules on water-rich ices triggered by atomic carbon freezing
Stefano Ferrero, Cecilia Ceccarelli, Piero Ugliengo +2
The reactivity of interstellar carbon atoms (C) on the water-dominated ices is one of the possible ways to form interstellar complex organic molecules (iCOMs). In this work, we rep…
Formation of complex organic molecules on interstellar CO ices? Insights from computational chemistry simulations
Stefano Ferrero, Cecilia Ceccarelli, Piero Ugliengo +2
Carbon (P) atom is a reactive species that, according to laboratory experiments and theoretical calculations, condensates with interstellar ice components. This fact is of utte…
Where does the energy go during the interstellar NH formation on water ice? A computational study
Stefano Ferrero, Stefano Pantaleone, Cecilia Ceccarelli +3
In the coldest (10--20 K) regions of the interstellar medium, the icy surfaces of interstellar grains serve as solid-state supports for chemical reactions. Among their plausible ro…
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…
Acetaldehyde binding energies: a coupled experimental and theoretical study
S. Ferrero, F. Grieco, A-S. Ibrahim Mohamed +6
Acetaldehyde is one of the most common and abundant gaseous interstellar complex organic molecules, found in cold and hot regions of the molecular interstellar medium. Its presence…
Theoretical distribution of the ammonia binding energy at interstellar icy grains: a new computational framework
Lorenzo Tinacci, Aurele Germain, Stefano Pantaleone +3
The binding energies (BE) of molecules on the interstellar grains are crucial in the chemical evolution of the interstellar medium (ISM). Both temperature programmed desorption (TP…
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…
Binding energies of interstellar molecules on crystalline and amorphous models of water ice by ab-initio calculations
Stefano Ferrero, Lorenzo Zamirri, Cecilia Ceccarelli +3
In the denser and colder (20 K) regions of the interstellar medium (ISM), near-infrared observations have revealed the presence of sub-micron sized dust grains covered by sev…
