Thermally irreversible sulfur chemisorption on silicate grains as a major sulfur reservoir in molecular clouds
Ni-En Sie, Masashi Tsuge, Yasuhiro Oba +3
Sulfur (S) chemistry in the interstellar medium remains poorly constrained due to the longstanding "missing sulfur" problem, where a significant fraction of cosmic sulfur in molecu…
H Ortho-Para Spin Conversion on Inhomogeneous Grain Surfaces. II. impact of the rotational energy difference between adsorbed ortho-H and para-H and implication to deuterium fractionation chemistry
Kenji Furuya, Toshiki Sugimoto, Kazunari Iwasaki +2
We investigate how the H ortho-to-para ratio (OPR) and dueterium fractionation in star-forming regions are affected by nuclear spin conversion (NSC) on dust grains. Particular…
Methanol Formation via the Radical-radical Reaction of OH and CH3 Radicals Undergoing Transient Diffusion on Ice at 10 to 60 K
Arisa Iguchi, Hiroshi Hidaka, Atsuki Ishibashi +3
Methanol (CH3OH) is thought to form on interstellar ice dust via successive hydrogenation reactions. The reaction between CH3 and OH radicals could also conceivably generate methan…
