The gas-phase chemistry of carbon chains in dark cloud chemical models
Jean-Christophe Loison, Valentine Wakelam, Kevin M. Hickson +2
We review the reactions between carbon chain molecules and radicals, namely Cn, CnH, CnH2, C2n+1O, CnN, HC2n+1N, with C, N and O atoms. Rate constants and branching ratios for thes…
Review of important reactions for the nitrogen chemistry in the interstellar medium
V. Wakelam, I. W. M. Smith, J. -C. Loison +5
Predictions of astrochemical models depend strongly on the reaction rate coefficients used in the simulations. We reviewed a number of key reactions for the chemistry of nitrogen-b…
Unusual Low Temperature Reactivity of Water. The CH + H2O Reaction as a Source of Interstellar Formaldehyde?
Kevin Hickson, Jean-Christophe Loison, Philippe Caubet
Water is an important reservoir species for oxygen in interstellar space and plays a key role in the physics of star formation through cooling by far-infrared emission. Whilst wate…
Low temperature rate constants for the N(4S) + CH(X2Πr) reaction. Implications for N2 formation cycles in dense interstellar clouds
Julien Daranlot, Xixi Hu, Changjian Xie +7
Rate constants for the potentially important interstellar N(4S) + CH(X2Πr) reaction have been measured in a continuous supersonic flow reactor over the range 56 K < T < 296 K using…
