Dissociation of the benzene molecule by UV and soft X-rays in circumstellar environment
H. M. Boechat-Roberty, R. Neves, S. Pilling +2
Benzene molecules, present in the proto-planetary nebula CRL 618, are ionized and dissociated by UV and X-ray photons originated from the hot central star and by its fast wind. Ion…
Survival of gas phase amino acids and nucleobases in space radiation conditions
S. Pilling, D. P. P. Andrade, R. B. de Castilho +6
We present experimental studies on the photoionization and photodissociation processes (photodestruction) of gaseous amino acids and nucleobases in interstellar and interplanetary…
Ionisation and dissociation of cometary gaseous organic molecules by solar wind particles I: Formic Acid
S. Pilling, A. C. F. Santos, W. Wolff +5
In order to simulate the effects of energetic charged particles present in the solar wind colliding with the cometary gaseous formic acid molecule (HCOOH), laboratory experiments h…
