PIConGPU modeling of nanoplasma formation in helium nanodroplets irradiated by intense femtosecond laser pulses
Cristian Medina, Klaus Steiniger, Brian Edward Marre +15
Helium nanodroplets provide a unique and versatile platform for investigating strong-field-driven nanoplasma dynamics. In this work, we present large-scale, GPU-accelerated particl…
Chemical modeling of aminoketene, ethanolamine, and glycine production in interstellar ices
Sydney A. Willis, Serge A. Krasnokutski, Nathaniel J. Morin +1
Icy interstellar dust grains are a source of complex organic molecule (COM) production, although their formation mechanisms are debated. Laboratory experiments show that atomic C d…
Cyclic C as the carrier of the diffuse interstellar band at 503.9 nm?
Serge. A. Krasnokutski, Lisa Ganner, Milan OnÄák +5
The diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) have remained a mystery in astronomy since their discovery over a century ago. The only currently known carrier is C responsible for…
Ly- processing of solid-state Ethanolamine: Potential Precursors to Sugar and Peptide Derivatives
T. Suhasaria, S. M. Wee, R. Basalgète +4
Ethanolamine (EA), a key component of phospholipids, has recently been detected in the interstellar medium within molecular clouds. To understand this observation, laboratory studi…
Infrared Spectra of Solid-State Ethanolamine: Laboratory Data in Support of JWST Observations
T. Suhasaria, S. M. Wee, R. Basalgète +4
Ethanolamine (NHCHCHOH, EA) has been identified in the gas phase of the ISM within molecular clouds. Although EA has not been directly observed in the molecular ice pha…
