Linking the dust and chemical evolution: Taurus and Perseus -- New collisional rates for HCN, HNC, and their C, N, and H isotopologues

D. Navarro-Almaida, C. T. Bop, F. Lique +18

HCN, HNC, and their isotopologues are ubiquitous molecules that can serve as chemical thermometers and evolutionary tracers to characterize star-forming regions. Despite their impo…

The effect of water and electron collisions in the rotational excitation of HF in comets

J. Loreau, A. Faure, F. Lique

We present the first set of rate coefficients for the rotational excitation of the 7 lowest levels of hydrogen fluoride (HF) induced by collision with water molecules, the dominant…

A SUBLIME 3D Model for Cometary Coma Emission: the Hypervolatile-Rich Comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS)

M. A. Cordiner, I. M. Coulson, E. Garcia-Berrios +12

The coma of comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS) is one of the most chemically peculiar ever observed, in particular due to its extremely high CO/H2O and N2+/H2O ratios}, and unusual trace…

An improved study of HCO+ and He system: interaction potential, collisional relaxation and pressure broadening

F. Tonolo, L. Bizzocchi, M. Melosso +4

In light of its ubiquitous presence in the interstellar gas, the chemistry and reactivity of the HCO+ ion requires special attention. The availability of up-to-date collisional dat…
