Dust as interstellar catalyst - II. How chemical desorption impacts the gas
S. Cazaux, M. Minissale, F. Dulieu +1
Context. Interstellar dust particles, which represent 1% of the total mass, are recognized to be very powerful interstellar catalysts in star-forming regions. The presence of dust…
Dust as interstellar catalyst I. Quantifying the chemical desorption process
M. Minissale, F. Dulieu, S. Cazaux +1
Context. The presence of dust in the interstellar medium has profound consequences on the chemical composition of regions where stars are forming. Recent observations show that man…
Hydrogenation at low temperatures does not always lead to saturation: the case of HNCO
J. A. Noble, P. Theule, E. Congiu +6
Context. It is generally agreed that hydrogenation reactions dominate chemistry on grain surfaces in cold, dense molecular cores, saturating the molecules present in ice mantles. A…
Thermal desorption characteristics of CO, O2 and CO2 on non-porous water, crystalline water and silicate surfaces at sub-monolayer and multilayer coverages
J. A. Noble, E. Congiu, F. Dulieu +1
The desorption characteristics of molecules on interstellar dust grains are important for modelling the behaviour of molecules in icy mantles and, critically, in describing the sol…
Experimental evidence of water formation on interstellar dust grains
F. Dulieu, L. Amiaud, J-H. Fillion +4
The synthesis of water is one necessary step in the origin and development of life. It is believed that pristine water is formed and grows on the surface of icy dust grains in dark…
