The PAH 3.4 micron feature as a tracer of shielding in the Orion Bar and NGC 6240
N. Thatte, D. Rigopoulou, F. R. Donnan +8
We have carried out a detailed analysis of the 3.4 micron spectral feature arising from Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH), using JWST archival data. For the first time in an e…
Theoretical investigations of propyl-cyanide formation in gas phase and on ice mantles
Boutheina Kerkeni, Victoria Gamez, Ghofrane Ouerfelli +2
Propyl cyanide (PrCN) (C3H7CN) with both linear and branched isomers is ubiquitous in interstellar space and is important for astrochemistry as it is one of the most complex molecu…
Probing computational methodologies in predicting mid-infrared spectra for large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
Boutheïna Kerkeni, Ismael García-Bernete, Dimitra Rigopoulou +3
We extend the prediction of vibrational spectra to large sized polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules comprising up to \sim 1500 carbon atoms by evaluating the efficiency…
Peptide Bonds in the Interstellar Medium: Facile Autocatalytic Formation from Nitriles on Water-Ice Grains
Boutheïna Kerkeni, John M. Simmie
A recent suggestion that acetamide, \ce{CH3C(O)NH2}, could be readily formed on water-ice grains by the acid induced addition of water across the \ce{CN} bond is now shown to be va…
