Collisional excitation of methyl (iso)cyanide by He atoms: rate coefficients and isomerism effects
M. Ben Khalifa, P. J. Dagdigian, J. Loreau
Among all closed-shell species observed in molecular clouds, molecules with C symmetry play a crucial role, as their rotational spectroscopy allows them to behave as a gas t…
Interaction of CHCN and CHNC with He : potential energy surfaces and low-energy scattering
Malek Ben Khalifa, Paul J. Dagdigian, Jérôme Loreau
Several nitrogen-bearing molecules, such as methyl cyanide (or acetonitrile, CHCN) and methyl isocyanide (CHNC) of interest here, have been observed in various astrophysica…
Hyperfine collisional excitation of ammonia by molecular hydrogen
J. Loreau, A. Faure, F. Lique +2
Ammonia is one of the most widely observed molecules in space, and many observations are able to resolve the hyperfine structure due to the electric quadrupole moment of the nitrog…
Collisional excitation of water by hydrogen atoms
F. Daniel, A. Faure, P. J. Dagdigian +3
We present quantum dynamical calculations that describe the rotational excitation of HO due to collisions with H atoms. We used a recent, high accuracy potential energy surface…
