Spatial distribution of water ice in the protoplanetary silhouette disk d216-0939

J. S. Martin, S. Wolf, A. Potapov +4

The composition of rocky planets depends on the dust in their natal protoplanetary disk (PPD), potentially containing water ice. Crystalline water ice was detected in the PPD d216-…

Efficient Interstellar Grain Growth from High Sticking Coefficients on Amorphous Carbon Dust

Clarke J. Esmerian, Duncan Bossion, Francois Dulieu +8

Cosmic dust is the solid phase of the interstellar medium (ISM), classically assumed to be composed of carbonaceous and silicate grains with size distributions spanning …

First detection of HDO ice in a protoplanetary disk

Alexey Potapov, Piyush Kalambkar, Jeroen Bouwman +4

Protoplanetary disks are the birthplace of planets and planetary systems. Investigating the molecular inventory of disks is key to linking the chemical evolution of the interstella…

A Tale of Two Sightlines: Comparison of Hydrocarbon Dust Absorption Bands toward Cygnus OB2-12 and the Galactic Center

Yvonne J. Pendleton, T. R. Geballe, Laurie E. U. Chu +14

Infrared spectra of hydrocarbon dust absorption bands toward the bright hypergiant Cygnus OB2-12 are compared to published spectra of the Quintuplet Cluster, a sightline to the Gal…

Investigating silicate, carbon, and water in the diffuse interstellar medium: the first shots from WISCI

S. T. Zeegers, Jonathan P. Marshall, Karl D. Gordon +33

The dusty interstellar medium (ISM) of the Milky Way is distributed in a complex, cloudy structure. It is fundamental to the radiation balance within the Milky Way, provides a reac…

Simple molecules and complex chemistry in a protoplanetary disk: A JWST investigation of the highly inclined disk d216-0939

Alexey Potapov, Hendrik Linz, Jeroen Bouwman +5

While the number of detected molecules, particularly complex organic molecules, in the solid-state in astrophysical environments is still rather limited, laboratory experiments and…

Trapped Water on Silicates in the Laboratory and in Astrophysical Environments

Alexey Potapov, Cornelia Jäger, Harald Mutschke +1

Existence of strongly bound water molecules on silicate surfaces, above the desorption temperature of water ice, has been first predicted by computational studies and recently demo…
