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…
The robust detection and spatial distribution of acetaldehyde in Orion KL: ALMA observations and chemical modeling
Miwha Jin, Anthony J. Remijan, Robin T. Garrod +5
Despite the organic molecule inventory detected in Orion KL, acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) -- one of the most ubiquitous interstellar aldehydes -- has not been firmly identified with mm-wa…
Modelling methanol and hydride formation in the JWST Ice Age era
Izaskun Jiménez-Serra, Andrés Megías, Joseph Salaris +19
(Abridged) JWST observations have measured the ice composition toward two highly-extinguished field stars in the Chamaeleon I cloud. The observed extinction excess on the long-wave…
