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…
An Ice Age JWST inventory of dense molecular cloud ices
M. K. McClure, W. R. M. Rocha, K. M. Pontoppidan +39
Icy grain mantles are the main reservoir of the volatile elements that link chemical processes in dark, interstellar clouds with the formation of planets and composition of their a…
Thermal desorption of interstellar ices. A review on the controlling parameters and their implications fromsnowlines to chemical complexity
Marco Minissale, Yuri Aikawa, Edwin Bergin +16
The evolution of star-forming regions and their thermal balance are strongly influenced by their chemical composition, that, in turn, is determined by the physico-chemical processe…
Physics and Chemistry on the Surface of Cosmic Dust Grains: A Laboratory View
Alexey Potapov, Martin McCoustra
Dust grains play a central role in the physics and chemistry of cosmic environments. They influence the optical and thermal properties of the medium due to their interaction with s…
