A Potential New Dimension of Astrophysical Aromatic Functionalization: Phosphaethynyl (CP) Derivatives
Reace H. J. Willis, Vincent J. Esposito, Thomas H. Speak +2
Quantum chemical computations outline a thermodynamically viable, low-temperature, gas-phase formation pathway for phosphaethynyl cyclopropenylidene (-CHCP), resulting from…
Infrared Spectroscopy and Photochemistry of Aromatic Nitriles in Para-Hydrogen Matrices
Sam McGrath, Vincent J. Esposito, Linshan Zeng +6
Motivated by recent detections of several aromatic nitriles in Taurus Molecular Cloud-1, we report laboratory and theoretical investigations of the vibrational spectroscopy and pho…
Detection of C Combination Bands in the Near-IR Spectrum of Tc 1
Morgan M. Giese, Vincent J. Esposito, Simon Van Schuylenbergh +26
We report the detection of a set of new near-infrared emission features between 3.5 and 5.2 m in JWST/NIRSpec observations of Tc 1, the planetary nebula known for displaying the…
The Computed Microwave Spectrum of the Protonated Fullerene C60H+
Laszlo Nemes, Jos Oomens, Vincent J. Esposito +2
The largest known molecule in space, C60 , has been detected in its neutral and cationic form through its vibrational, UV-driven fluorescence emission spectrum and its electronic a…
PDRs4All: XVIII. The evolution of the PAH ionisation and PAH size distribution across the Orion Bar
Alexandros Maragkoudakis, Christiaan Boersma, Els Peeters +25
We investigate the evolution of the PAH population's charge state and size across key physical zones in the Orion Bar, which include the HII region, the atomic PDR (APDR), and thre…
