Infrared photoprocessing of porous amorphous solid water with a free electron laser
J. G. M. Schrauwen, S. Ioppolo, L. Slumstrup +3
Water ice is the most abundant ice in the interstellar medium (ISM). Previous studies on porous amorphous solid water (pASW) have shown that the infrared radiation field in the ISM…

Formation of methane and cyclohexane through the hydrogenation of toluene
A. T. Hopkinson, F. G. Doktor, J. Pitfield +3
Methylated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been hypothesised to be present in the interstellar medium (ISM) through their 3.4 and 6.9 m absorption bands. To invest…

CO desorption from interstellar icy grains induced by IR excitation of superhydrogenated PAHs
L. Slumstrup, J. D. Thrower, A. T. Hopkinson +6
Infrared (IR) radiation dominates dense, interstellar clouds, yet its effect on icy grains remains largely unexplored. Its potential role in driving the photodesorption of volatile…
