Using astrochemical models to simulate reactivity experiments on cold surfaces
Valeriia Sokolova, Basile Husquinet, Stephan Diana +7
The development of molecular complexity during stellar and planetary formation owes much to the interaction of gas and dust. When the first astrochemical models including solid-sta…
Binding energies of ethanol and ethylamine on interstellar water ices: synergy between theory and experiments
Jessica Perrero, Julie Vitorino, Emanuele Congiu +3
Experimental and computational chemistry are two disciplines to conduct research in Astrochemistry, providing essential reference data for both astronomical observations and modeli…
A new multi-beam apparatus for the study of surface chemistry routes to formation of complex organic molecules in space
Emanuele Congiu, Abdellahi Sow, Thanh Nguyen +2
A multi-beam ultra-high vacuum apparatus is presented. In this article we describe the design and construction of a new laboratory astrophysics experiment -- VErs de NoUvelles Synt…
Direct measurement of desorption and diffusion energies of O and N atoms physisorbed on amorphous surfaces
Marco Minissale, Emanuele Congiu, François Dulieu
Physisorbed atoms on the surface of interstellar dust grains play a central role in solid state astrochemistry. Their surface reactivity is one source of the observed molecular com…
Hydrogenation at low temperatures does not always lead to saturation: the case of HNCO
J. A. Noble, P. Theule, E. Congiu +6
Context. It is generally agreed that hydrogenation reactions dominate chemistry on grain surfaces in cold, dense molecular cores, saturating the molecules present in ice mantles. A…
Quantum tunneling of oxygen atoms on very cold surfaces
M. Minissale, E. Congiu, S. Baouche +7
Any evolving system can change of state via thermal mechanisms (hopping a barrier) or via quantum tunneling. Most of the time, efficient classical mechanisms dominate at high tempe…
