Laboratory Evidence that Methanol-Rich Ice Mantles Lower Methyl Formate Binding Energies

Rachel E. Gross, Jeroen Terwisscha van Scheltinga, L. Ilsedore Cleeves +5

Complex organic molecules are widely detected in star-forming regions and are important precursors to prebiotic species. Because these molecules are thought to form primarily withi…

CORINOS IV: Quantifying Baseline-Fitting Uncertainties in SO Ice Measurements with JWST/MIRI

Rachel E. Gross, Yao-Lun Yang, L. Ilsedore Cleeves +15

Sulfur dioxide (SO) ice has been tentatively detected in protostellar envelopes, but its reliability as a solid-state sulfur reservoir remains unclear. We present new measureme…

Chemical modeling of aminoketene, ethanolamine, and glycine production in interstellar ices

Sydney A. Willis, Serge A. Krasnokutski, Nathaniel J. Morin +1

Icy interstellar dust grains are a source of complex organic molecule (COM) production, although their formation mechanisms are debated. Laboratory experiments show that atomic C d…

Cosmic dust as a prerequisite for the formation of complex organic molecules in space?

Alexey Potapov, Kilian Pollok, Falko Langenhorst +2

In cold, dense astrophysical environments dust grains are mixed with molecular ices. Chemistry in those dust/ice mixtures is determined by diffusion and reaction of molecules and r…

Is cosmic dust porous?

Alexey Potapov, Martin R. S. McCoustra, Ryo Tazaki +4

There is a long-standing discussion in the astrophysical/astrochemical community as to the structure and morphology of dust grains in various astrophysical environments (e.g., inte…

First Detections of PN, PO, and PO+ toward a Shocked Low-mass Starless Core

Samantha Scibelli, Andrés Megías, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra +6

Phosphorus is a key element that plays an essential role in biological processes important for living organisms on Earth. The origin and connection of phosphorus-bearing molecules…
