Searching for the elusive CH2+ with the James Webb Space Telescope. Another carbocation to constrain astrochemical networks
M. Zannese, L. H. Coudert, E. Dartois +14
Carbocations are key species in interstellar chemistry, providing entry points for building larger hydrocarbons. CH+, and more recently, CH3+, have been detected. Other carbocation…
Ion-molecule routes towards cycles in TMC-1. An automated study of the C2H4 + CH2CCH+ reaction
MarÃa Mallo, Marcelino Agúndez, Carlos Cabezas +3
Cyclopentadiene (c-C5H6) is considered a key molecule in the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the interstellar medium (ISM). The synthesis of PAHs from simpl…
H3+ in irradiated protoplanetary disks: Linking far-ultraviolet radiation and water vapor
Javier R. Goicoechea, Octavio Roncero, Evelyne Roueff +3
The likely JWST detection of vibrationally excited H3+ emission in Orion's irradiated disk system d203-506 raises the important question of whether cosmic-ray ionization is enhance…
PDRs4All XV: CH radical and H molecular ion in the irradiated protoplanetary disk d203-506
I. Schroetter, O. Berné, J. R. Goicoechea +20
Most protoplanetary disks experience a phase in which they are subjected to strong ultraviolet radiation from nearby massive stars. This UV radiation can substantially alter their…
Gas phase Elemental abundances in Molecular cloudS (GEMS). X. Observational effects of turbulence on the chemistry of molecular clouds
L. Beitia-Antero, A. Fuente, D. Navarro-Almaida +12
(Abridged) We explore the chemistry of the most abundant C, O, S, and N bearing species in molecular clouds, in the context of the IRAM 30 m Large Programme Gas phase Elemental abu…
