Water enhances the formation of refractory sulfur in interstellar ices
Carlos del Burgo Olivares, Hector Carrascosa, Guillermo M. Muñoz Caro +3
Sulfur is the tenth most abundant element in space, yet it is strongly depleted in the gas phase of dense interstellar regions, suggesting sequestration in dust grain components th…
Modeling the UV-photon irradiation of CS-bearing ices in the laboratory with the pyRate gas-grain astrochemical code. New insights into the missing sulfur problem
O. Sipilä, R. Martín-Doménech, W. Riedel +4
Observations indicate that the total abundance of S-bearing species in dense clouds is orders of magnitude lower than the cosmic sulfur abundance. Addressing this "missing sulfur p…
The sulfur plume in the Horsehead nebula: New detections of SH, SH, and CO
Asunción Fuente, Gisela Esplugues, Pablo Rivière-Marichalar +13
Sulfur is essential for life, but its abundance and distribution in the interstellar medium remain uncertain, with over 90% of sulfur undetected in cold molecular clouds. Sulfur al…
Gas phase Elemental abundances in Molecular cloudS (GEMS) VII. Sulfur elemental abundance
A. Fuente, P. Rivière-Marichalar, L. Beitia-Antero +18
Gas phase Elemental abundances in molecular CloudS (GEMS) is an IRAM 30m large program aimed at determining the elemental abundances of carbon (C), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), and su…
Photoprocessing of H2S on dust grains: building S chains in translucent clouds and comets
S. Cazaux, H. Carrascosa, G. M. Munoz Caro +4
Context. Sulfur is used as a tracer of the evolution from interstellar clouds to stellar systems. However, most of the expected sulfur in molecular clouds remains undetected. Sulfu…
Gas phase Elemental abundances in Molecular cloudS (GEMS). IV. Observational results and statistical trends
M. Rodríguez-Baras, A. Fuente, P. Riviére-Marichalar +33
Gas phase Elemental abundances in Molecular CloudS (GEMS) is an IRAM 30m Large Program designed to estimate the S, C, N, and O depletions and gas ionization degree, X(e-), in a set…
Gas-phase Elemental abundances in Molecular cloudS (GEMS) III. Unlocking the CS chemistry: the CS+O reaction
N. Bulut, O. Roncero, A. Aguado +36
CS is among the most abundant gas-phase S-bearing molecules in cold dark molecular clouds. It is easily observable with several transitions in the millimeter wavelength range, and…
Gas phase Elemental abundances in Molecular cloudS (GEMS) I. The prototypical dark cloud TMC 1
A. Fuente, D. Navarro, P. Caselli +30
GEMS is an IRAM 30m Large Program whose aim is determining the elemental depletions and the ionization fraction in a set of prototypical star-forming regions. This paper presents t…
Soft X-ray Irradiation of Silicates: Implications on Dust Evolution in Protoplanetary Disks
A. Ciaravella, C. Cecchi-Pestellini, Y. -J. Chen +4
The processing of energetic photons on bare silicate grains was simulated experimentally on silicate films submitted to soft X-rays of energies up to 1.25 keV. The silicate materia…
Discovery of Methyl Acetate and Gauche Ethyl Formate in Orion
B. Tercero, I. Kleiner, J. Cernicharo +3
We report on the discovery of methyl acetate, CH3COOCH3, through the detection of a large number of rotational lines from each one of the spin states of the molecule: AA species (A…
