Dust as interstellar catalyst - II. How chemical desorption impacts the gas
S. Cazaux, M. Minissale, F. Dulieu +1
Context. Interstellar dust particles, which represent 1% of the total mass, are recognized to be very powerful interstellar catalysts in star-forming regions. The presence of dust…
Dust as interstellar catalyst I. Quantifying the chemical desorption process
M. Minissale, F. Dulieu, S. Cazaux +1
Context. The presence of dust in the interstellar medium has profound consequences on the chemical composition of regions where stars are forming. Recent observations show that man…
Interplay of gas and ice during cloud evolution
S. Hocuk, S. Cazaux
During the evolution of diffuse clouds to molecular clouds, gas-phase molecules freeze out on surfaces of small dust particles to form ices. On dust surfaces, water is the main con…
The impact of freeze-out on collapsing molecular clouds
S. Hocuk, S. Cazaux, M. Spaans
Atoms and molecules, and in particular CO, are important coolants during the evolution of interstellar star-forming gas clouds. The presence of dust grains, which allow many chemic…
The Thermodynamics of Molecular Cloud Fragmentation: Star Formation Under Non-Milky Way Conditions
S. Hocuk, M. Spaans
Properties of candidate stars, forming out of molecular clouds, depend on the ambient conditions of the parent cloud. We present a series of 2D and 3D simulations of fragmentation…
