JWST Edge-on Disk Ice (JEDIce): Vibrationally hot, rotationally cold H in the outer disk of Oph 163131 non-thermally excited by UV and cosmic rays

Korash Assani, Zhi-Yun Li, Jennifer B. Bergner +19

Constraining ionization and excitation processes in protoplanetary disks is essential for understanding the chemical structure and evolution of disk material, shaping planet format…

New Estimate for the Cosmic Ray-Induced Photodissociation Rate in the Interstellar Medium

O. Sipilä, P. Caselli, M. Padovani +5

In the interstellar medium, cosmic rays (CRs) generate a field of ultraviolet (UV) photons via the excitation and subsequent radiative decay of molecules. This UV field i…

The Effect of Weak Cosmic Ray Heating Events on the Desorption of

O. Sipilä, K. Silsbee, N. Carbajal +2

The typical amount of molecular hydrogen () in interstellar ices is not known, but significant freeze-out of on dust grains is not expected. However, chemica…

The Role of Low-energy (< 20 eV) Secondary Electrons in the Extraterrestrial Synthesis of Prebiotic Molecules

Qin Tong Wu, Hannah Anderson, Aurland K. Watkins +6

We demonstrate for the first time that Galactic cosmic rays with energies as high as 1e10 eV can trigger a cascade of low-energy (< 20 eV) secondary electrons that could be a signi…

CCH in prestellar cores

M. Padovani, C. M. Walmsley, M. Tafalla +2

We study the abundance of CCH in prestellar cores both because of its role in the chemistry and because it is a potential probe of the magnetic field. We also consider the non-LTE…
