Photoelectron and electron microscopy investigation of laboratory grown Mg-silicate space dust analogues

Steffen Friis Holleufer, Mie Andersen, Frederik Granzow Doktor +9

The atomic structure at the surface of interstellar silicate dust particles likely plays a key role in a variety of chemical processes occurring in star- and planet-forming regions…

C60 as a probe for astrophysical environments

Abel Brieva, Roland Gredel, Cornelia Jaeger +2

The C60 molecule has been recently detected in a wide range of astrophysical environments through its four active intramolecular vibrational modes (T1u) near 18.9, 17.4, 8.5, and 7…

Hard X-ray irradiation of cosmic silicate analogs: structural evolution and astrophysical implications

L. Gavilan, C. Jäger, A. Simionovici +7

Protoplanetary disks, interstellar clouds, and active galactic nuclei, contain X-ray dominated regions. X-rays interact with the dust and gas present in such environments. While a…

Formation of silicon oxide grains at low temperature

S. A. Krasnokutski, G. Rouille, C. Jager +3

The formation of grains in the interstellar medium, i.e., at low temperature, has been proposed as a possibility to solve the lifetime problem of cosmic dust. This process lacks a…

Polyynyl-substituted PAH molecules and DIB carriers

Gaël Rouillé, Cornelia Jäger, Friedrich Huisken +1

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules have been long considered promising candidates for the carriers of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs). The PAH-DIB hypothesis, ho…

The smoothness of the interstellar extinction curve in the UV. Comparison with recent laboratory measurements of PAH mixtures

Mathias Steglich, Yvain Carpentier, Cornelia Jäger +3

Context. As revealed by high-resolution spectral investigations in the wavelength range between 300 and 400 nm, the interstellar extinction curve does not display any of the sharp…

Recent Results of Solid-State Spectroscopy

Cornelia Jäger, Thomas Posch, Harald Mutschke +3

Solid state spectroscopy continues to be an important source of information on the mineralogical composition and physical properties of dust grains both in space and on planetary s…

Electronic spectroscopy of medium-sized polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: Implications for the carriers of the 2175 Å UV bump

M. Steglich, C. Jäger, G. Rouillé +3

Mixtures of polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been produced by means of laser pyrolysis. The main fraction of the extracted PAHs were primarily medium-sized, up to a maxi…

Spectral properties of gas-phase condensed fullerene-like carbon nanoparticles from far-ultraviolet to infrared wavelengths

C. Jäger, H. Mutschke, Th. Henning +1

Carbon solids are ubiquitous material in the interstellar space. However, the formation pathway of carbonaceous matter in astrophysical environments as well as in terrestrial gas-p…

Spatially Resolved 3 micron Spectroscopy of Elias 1: Origin of Diamonds in Protoplanetary Disks

M. Goto, Th. Henning, A. Kouchi +8

We present spatially resolved 3 um spectra of Elias 1 obtained with an adaptive optics system. The central part of the disk is almost devoid of PAH emission at 3.3 um; it shows up…
