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…
Interplay of gas and ice during cloud evolution
S. Hocuk, S. Cazaux
During the evolution of diffuse clouds to molecular clouds, gas-phase molecules freeze out on surfaces of small dust particles to form ices. On dust surfaces, water is the main con…
The impact of freeze-out on collapsing molecular clouds
S. Hocuk, S. Cazaux, M. Spaans
Atoms and molecules, and in particular CO, are important coolants during the evolution of interstellar star-forming gas clouds. The presence of dust grains, which allow many chemic…
Interstellar ices as witnesses of star formation: selective deuteration of water and organic molecules unveiled
S. Cazaux, P. Caselli, M. Spaans
Observations of star forming environments revealed that the abundances of some deuterated interstellar molecules are markedly larger than the cosmic D/H ratio of 10-5. Possible rea…
Water formation on bare grains: When the chemistry on dust impacts interstellar gas
S. Cazaux, V. Cobut, M. Marseille +2
Context. Water together with O2 are important gas phase ingredients to cool dense gas in order to form stars. On dust grains, H2 O is an important constituent of the icy mantle in…
