KROME-X: a GPU-ready library for chemistry and microphysics in astrophysical simulations

Alessandro Lupi, Tommaso Grassi, Stefano Bovino

KROME is a Python pre-processor that writes a complete Fortran solver of chemistry and microphysics for each chemical network, widely used in astrophysical simulations. We introduc…

CO Diffusion on Interstellar Amorphous Solid Water: A Computational Study

Francesco Benedetti, Mauro Satta, Tommaso Grassi +2

Surface chemistry on interstellar dust grains is recognized as a central component in astrochemical models, representing a plausible formation route for many of the observed comple…

Carbox: an end-to-end differentiable astrochemical simulation framework

Gijs Vermariën, Tommaso Grassi, Marie Van de Sande +6

Since the first observations of interstellar molecules, astrochemical simulations have been employed to model and understand its formation and destruction path- ways. With the adve…

The Astrochemistry Low-energy Electron Cross-Section (ALeCS) database I. Semi-empirical electron-impact ionization cross-section calculations and ionization rates

Brandt A. L. Gaches, Tommaso Grassi, Stefan Vogt-Geisse +6

(Abridged) Electron-molecule interaction is a fundamental process in radiation-driven chemistry in space, from the interstellar medium to comets. Therefore, knowledge of interactio…

Effects of turbulence and rotation on protostar formation as a precursor to seed black holes

C. Van Borm, S. Bovino, M. A. Latif +3

Context. The seeds of the first supermassive black holes may have resulted from the direct collapse of hot primordial gas in K haloes, forming a supermassive or quas…

The formation of massive primordial stars in the presence of moderate UV backgrounds

M. A. Latif, D. R. G. Schleicher, S. Bovino +2

Radiative feedback from populations II stars played a vital role in early structure formation. Particularly, photons below the Lyman limit can escape the star forming regions and p…
