Efficient Interstellar Grain Growth from High Sticking Coefficients on Amorphous Carbon Dust
Clarke J. Esmerian, Duncan Bossion, Francois Dulieu +8
Cosmic dust is the solid phase of the interstellar medium (ISM), classically assumed to be composed of carbonaceous and silicate grains with size distributions spanning …
A new multi-beam apparatus for the study of surface chemistry routes to formation of complex organic molecules in space
Emanuele Congiu, Abdellahi Sow, Thanh Nguyen +2
A multi-beam ultra-high vacuum apparatus is presented. In this article we describe the design and construction of a new laboratory astrophysics experiment -- VErs de NoUvelles Synt…
Quantum tunneling of oxygen atoms on very cold surfaces
M. Minissale, E. Congiu, S. Baouche +7
Any evolving system can change of state via thermal mechanisms (hopping a barrier) or via quantum tunneling. Most of the time, efficient classical mechanisms dominate at high tempe…
Efficient diffusive mechanisms of O atoms at very low temperatures on surfaces of astrophysical interest
E. Congiu, M. Minissale, S. Baouche +6
At the low temperatures of interstellar dust grains, it is well established that surface chemistry proceeds via diffusive mechanisms of H atoms weakly bound (physisorbed) to the su…
Sticking coefficient of hydrogen and deuterium on silicates under interstellar conditions
H. Chaabouni, H. Bergeron, S. Baouche +5
Sticking of H and D atoms on interstellar dust grains is the first step in molecular hydrogen formation, which is a key reaction in the InterStellar Medium (ISM). After studying th…
