Presence of water on exomoons orbiting free-floating planets: a case study
Patricio Javier Ávila, Tommaso Grassi, Stefano Bovino +4
A free-floating planet is a planetary-mass object that orbits around a non-stellar massive object (e.g. a brown dwarf) or around the Galactic Center. The presence of exomoons orbit…
KROME - a package to embed chemistry in astrophysical simulations
T. Grassi, S. Bovino, D. R. G. Schleicher +4
Chemistry plays a key role in many astrophysical situations regulating the cooling and the thermal properties of the gas, which are relevant during gravitational collapse, the evol…
Thermodynamics of chemical free energy generation in off-axis hydrothermal vent systems and its consequences for compartmentalization and the emergence of life
E. Simoncini, A. Kleidon, E. Gallori +1
In this paper we demonstrate how chemical free energy can be produced by a geological process. We provide a thermodynamic framework in which to assess how life emerged at the off-a…
