Depletion of chlorine into HCl ice in a protostellar core

M. Kama, E. Caux, A. Lopez-Sepulcre +9

The freezeout of gas-phase species onto cold dust grains can drastically alter the chemistry and the heating-cooling balance of protostellar material. In contrast to well-known spe…

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…

OH+ in astrophysical media: state-to-state formation rates, Einstein coefficients and inelastic collision rates with He

S. Gomez-Carrasco, B. Godard, F. Lique +9

The rate constants required to model the OH observations in different regions of the interstellar medium have been determined using state of the art quantum methods. First, sta…

Herschel spectral-mapping of the Helix Nebula (NGC 7293): Extended CO photodissociation and OH+ emission

M. Etxaluze, J. Cernicharo, J. R. Goicoechea +13

The Helix Nebula (NGC 7293) is the closest planetary nebulae. Therefore, it is an ideal template for photochemical studies at small spatial scales in planetary nebulae. We aim to s…

Ortho-para-H conversion processes in astrophysical media

François Lique, Pascal Honvault, Alexandre Faure

We report in this review recent fully-quantum time-independent calculations of cross sections and rate constants for the gas phase ortho-to-para conversion of H by H and H.…
