Simulation of CHOH ice UV photolysis under laboratory conditions
W. R. M. Rocha, P. Woitke, S. Pilling +5
Methanol is the most complex molecule securely identified in interstellar ices and is a key chemical species for understanding chemical complexity in astrophysical environments. Im…
Glycolaldehyde formation mediated by interstellar amorphous ice: a computational study
Mateus A. M. Paiva, Sergio Pilling, Edgar Mendoza +2
Glycolaldehyde (HOCH2CHO) is the most straightforward sugar detected in the Interstellar Medium (ISM) and participates in the formation pathways of molecules fundamental to life, r…
X-ray photolysis of CHCOCH ice: Implications for the radiation effects of compact objects towards astrophysical ices
G. A. Carvalho, S. Pilling
In this study, we employed broadband X-rays ( eV) to irradiate the frozen acetone CHCOCH, at the temperature of 12 K, with different photon fluences up to $2.7\time…
Tracking the evolutionary stage of protostars by the abundances of astrophysical ices
W. R. M. Rocha, S. Pilling
The physical evolution of Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) is accompanied by an enrichment of the molecular complexity, mainly triggered by the heating and energetic processing of the…
The role of external FUV irradiation in the survival of astrophysical ices in Elias 29
Will R. M. Rocha, Sergio Pilling
The survival of astrophysical ices in the star-forming regions depends on the suitability of temperature, density and radiation conditions. In this paper, the role of Interstellar…
Infrared complex refractive index of astrophysical ices exposed to cosmic rays simulated in the laboratory
W. R. M. Rocha, S. Pilling, A. L. F. de Barros +3
In dense and cold regions of the interstellar medium (ISM), molecules may be adsorbed onto dust grains to form the ice mantles. Once formed, they can be processed by ionizing radia…
