KROME - a package to embed chemistry in astrophysical simulations
T. Grassi, S. Bovino, D. R. G. Schleicher +4
Chemistry plays a key role in many astrophysical situations regulating the cooling and the thermal properties of the gas, which are relevant during gravitational collapse, the evol…
Primordial star formation: relative impact of H2 three-body rates and initial conditions
S. Bovino, D. R. G. Schleicher, T. Grassi
Population III stars are the first stars in the Universe to form at z=20-30 out of a pure hydrogen and helium gas in minihalos of 10^5-10^6 M . Cooling and fragmentation is…
CH+ depletion by atomic hydrogen: accuracy of new rates in photo-dominated and self-shielded environments
S. Bovino, T. Grassi, M. Tacconi +1
A detailed quantum analysis of a ionic reaction with a crucial role in the ISM is carried out to generate ab initio reactive cross sections with a quantum method. From them we obta…
Impact of an accurate modeling of primordial chemistry in high resolution studies
S. Bovino, T. Grassi, M. A. Latif +1
The formation of the first stars in the Universe is regulated by a sensitive interplay of chemistry and cooling with the dynamics of a self-gravitating system. As the outcome of th…
