An experimental and theoretical investigation of the C(1D) + D2 reaction
Kevin M. Hickson, Yury V. Suleimanov
In a previous joint experimental and theoretical study of the barrierless chemical reaction C(1D) + H2 at low temperatures (300-50 K) [K. M. Hickson, J.-C. Loison, H. Guo, Y. V. Su…
A New Reference Chemical Composition for TMC-1
P. Gratier, L. Majumdar, M. Ohishi +4
Recent detections of complex organic molecules in dark clouds have rekindled interest in the astrochemical modeling of these environments. Because of its relative closeness and ric…
Quantum Tunneling Enhancement of the C + H2O and C + D2O Reactions at Low Temperature
Kevin M. Hickson, Jean-Christophe Loison, Dianailys Nunez-Reyes +1
Recent studies of neutral gas-phase reactions characterized by barriers show that certain complex forming processes involving light atoms are enhanced by quantum mechanical tunneli…
Temperature Dependent Product Yields for the Spin Forbidden Singlet Channel of the C(3P) + C2H2 Reaction
Kevin M. Hickson, Jean-Christophe Loison, Valentine Wakelam
The atomic hydrogen formation channels of the C + C2H2 reaction have been investigated using a continuous supersonic flow reactor over the 52 K 296 K temperature range. H-atoms wer…
The C(3P) + NH3 reaction in interstellar chemistry: I. Investigation of the product formation channels
Jeremy Bourgalais, Michael Capron, Ranjith Kumar Abhinavam Kailasanathan +6
The product formation channels of ground state carbon atoms, C(3P), reacting with ammonia, NH3, have been investigated using two complementary experiments and electronic structure…
The C(3P) + NH3 reaction in interstellar chemistry: II. Low temperature rate constants and modeling of NH, NH2 and NH3 abundances in dense interstellar clouds
Kevin M. Hickson, Jean-Christophe Loison, Jérémy Bourgalais +4
A continuous supersonic flow reactor has been used to measure rate constants for the C + NH3 reaction over the temperature range 50 to 296 K. C atoms were created by the pulsed las…
Methylacetylene (CH3CCH) and propene (C3H6) formation in cold dense clouds: a case of dust grain chemistry
Kevin M. Hickson, Valentine Wakelam, Jean-Christophe Loison
We present an extensive review of gas phase reactions producing methylacetylene and propene showing that these relatively abundant unsaturated hydrocarbons cannot be synthesized th…
Detection of CH3SH in protostar IRAS 16293-2422
Liton Majumdar, Pierre Gratier, Thomas Vidal +4
The nature of the main sulphur reservoir in star forming regions is a long standing mystery. The observed abundance of sulphur-bearing species in dense clouds is only about 0.1 per…
