Formation of S-bearing complex organic molecules in interstellar clouds via ice reactions with C2H2, HS, and atomic H

Julia C. Santos, Joan Enrique-Romero, Thanja Lamberts +2

The chemical network governing interstellar sulfur has been the topic of unrelenting discussion for the past decades due to the conspicuous discrepancy between its expected and obs…

Interaction of HS with H atoms on grain surfaces under molecular cloud conditions

Julia C. Santos, Harold Linnartz, Ko-Ju Chuang

Hydrogen sulfide (HS) is thought to be efficiently formed on grain surfaces through the successive hydrogenation of S atoms. Its non-detection so far in astronomical observatio…

Resonant infrared irradiation of CO and CH3OH interstellar ices

J. C. Santos, K. -J. Chuang, J. G. M. Schrauwen +6

Solid-phase photo-processes involving icy dust grains greatly affect the chemical evolution of the interstellar medium by leading to the formation of complex organic molecules and…

First experimental confirmation of the CH3O + H2CO -> CH3OH + HCO reaction: expanding the CH3OH formation mechanism in interstellar ices

Julia C. Santos, Ko-Ju Chuang, Thanja Lamberts +3

The successive addition of H atoms to CO in the solid phase has been hitherto regarded as the primary route to form methanol in dark molecular clouds. However, recent Monte Carlo s…

A spectral survey of CH3CCH in the Hot Molecular Core G331.512-0.103

Julia C. Santos, Leonardo Bronfman, Edgar Mendoza +4

A spectral survey of methyl acetylene (CH3CCH) was conducted toward the hot molecular core/outflow G331.512-0.103. Our APEX observations allowed the detection of 41 uncontaminated…
