Methanol Formation via the Radical-radical Reaction of OH and CH3 Radicals Undergoing Transient Diffusion on Ice at 10 to 60 K
Arisa Iguchi, Hiroshi Hidaka, Atsuki Ishibashi +3
Methanol (CH3OH) is thought to form on interstellar ice dust via successive hydrogenation reactions. The reaction between CH3 and OH radicals could also conceivably generate methan…

Hydrogenation of HOCO and formation of interstellar CO: A not so straightforward relation
Germán Molpeceres, Joan Enrique-Romero, Atsuki Ishibashi +5
Carbon dioxide (CO) is one of the most important interstellar molecules. While it is considered that it forms on the surface of interstellar dust grains, the exact contribution…

Proposed importance of HOCO chemistry: Inefficient formation of CO from CO and OH reactions on ice dust
Atsuki Ishibashi, Germán Molpeceres, Hiroshi Hidaka +3
With the advent of JWST ice observations, dedicated studies on the formation reactions of detected molecules are becoming increasingly important. One of the most interesting molecu…
