Moonraker -- Enceladus Multiple Flyby Mission
O. Mousis, A. Bouquet, Y. Langevin +50
Enceladus, an icy moon of Saturn, possesses an internal water ocean and jets expelling ocean material into space. Cassini investigations indicated that the subsurface ocean could b…
Density and infrared band strength of interstellar carbon monoxide (CO) ice analogues
Cristóbal González Díaz, Hector Carrascosa, Guillermo M. Muñoz Caro +2
The motivation to study experimentally CO ice under mimicked interstellar conditions is supported by the large CO gas abundances and ubiquitous presence of CO in icy grain mantles.…
Gas phase Elemental abundances in Molecular cloudS (GEMS). II. On the quest for the sulphur reservoir in molecular clouds: the case
D. Navarro-Almaida, R. Le Gal, A. Fuente +30
Sulphur is one of the most abundant elements in the Universe. Surprisingly, sulphuretted molecules are not as abundant as expected in the interstellar medium, and the identity of t…
On The Photodesorption of CO Ice Analogues: The Formation of Atomic C in The Ice and the Effect of The VUV Emission Spectrume
N. -E. Sie, G. M. Muñoz Caro, Z. -H. Huang +3
CO ice has a phase transition at 35 K when its structure changes from amorphous to crystalline. Using Reflection absorption Infrared Spectroscopy (RAIRS), Öberg et al. observed…
Synthesis of complex organic molecules in soft x-ray irradiated ices
A. Ciaravella, A. Jiménez-Escobar, C. Cecchi-Pestellini +4
We study the chemical evolution of H2O:CO:NH3 ice mixtures irradiated with soft X-rays, in the range 250-1250 eV. We identify many nitrogen-bearing molecules such as e.g., OCN-, NH…
CO and CO ice mixtures with N in photon energy transfer studies
H. Carrascosa, L. -C. Hsiao, N. -E. Sie +2
In dense clouds of the interstellar medium, dust grains are covered by ice mantles, dominated by HO. CO and CO are common ice components observed in infrared spectra, while…
New measurements on water ice photodesorption and product formation under ultraviolet irradiation
Gustavo A. Cruz-Diaz, Rafael Martín-Doménech, Elena Moreno +2
The photodesorption of icy grain mantles has been claimed to be responsible for the abundance of gas-phase molecules toward cold regions. Being water a ubiquitous molecule, it is c…
UV photoprocessing of NH3 ice: photon-induced desorption mechanisms
R. Martin-Domenech, G. A. Cruz-Diaz, G. M. Munoz Caro
Ice mantles detected on the surface of dust grains toward the coldest regions of the interstellar medium can be photoprocessed by the secondary ultraviolet (UV) field present in de…
CO depletion: a microscopic perspective
S. Cazaux, R. Martin-Domenech, Y. J. Chen +2
In regions where stars form, variations in density and temperature can cause gas to freeze-out onto dust grains forming ice mantles, which influences the chemical composition of a…
Vacuum ultraviolet photolysis of hydrogenated amorphous carbons. III. Diffusion of photo-produced H2 as a function of temperature
Rafael Martín-Doménech, Emmanuel Dartois, Guillermo M. Muñoz Caro
Hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) has been proposed as one of the carbonaceous solids detected in the interstellar medium. Energetic processing of the a-C:H particles leads to…
Study of the photon-induced formation and subsequent desorption of CH3 OH and H2 CO in interstellar ice analogs
R. Martín-Doménech, G. M. Muñoz Caro, G. A. Cruz-Díaz
Methanol and formaldehyde are two simple organic molecules that are ubiquitously detected in the interstellar medium. An origin in the solid phase and a subsequent nonthermal desor…
