Collisional excitation of cyclopentadiene by helium. A complete set of rate coefficients and astrophysical applications

Sándor Demes, François Lique, Marcelino Agúndez +1

Complex organic molecules, including large cyclic species, are prevalent in interstellar space and play a key role in various astrochemical processes. Cyclopentadiene (c-C5H6) is a…

Collisional excitation of HCO by He: Experimental validation of state-of-the-art scattering calculations

Chinmai Sai Jureddy, Sandor Demes, Francesca Tonolo +2

Non-local thermodynamic equilibrium conditions in the interstellar medium require collisional rate coefficients to model astronomical observations; these are usually determined fro…

An accurate set of HO H collisional rate coefficients for non-LTE modelling of warm interstellar clouds

Sándor Demes, François Lique, Alexandre Faure +1

Hydronium (HO) was first detected in 1986 in interstellar molecular clouds. It was reported in many galactic diffuse and dense regions, as well as in extragalactic sources.…

Rotational excitation of HO cations by para-H: improved collisional data at low temperatures

S. Demes, François Lique, Alexandre Faure +3

The hydronium cation plays a crucial role in interstellar oxygen and water chemistry. While its spectroscopy was extensively investigated earlier, the collisional excitation of H$_…
