Synthesis of urea on the surface of interstellar water ice clusters. A quantum chemical study
J. Perrero, A. Rimola
Urea is a prebiotic molecule that has been detected in few sources of the interstellar medium (ISM) and in Murchison meteorite. Being stable against ultraviolet radiation and high-…
Formation of interstellar complex organic molecules on water-rich ices triggered by atomic carbon freezing
Stefano Ferrero, Cecilia Ceccarelli, Piero Ugliengo +2
The reactivity of interstellar carbon atoms (C) on the water-dominated ices is one of the possible ways to form interstellar complex organic molecules (iCOMs). In this work, we rep…
Quantum mechanical modeling of the grain-surface formation of acetaldehyde on HO:CO dirty ice surfaces
Jessica Perrero, Piero Ugliengo, Cecilia Ceccarelli +1
Acetaldehyde (CHCHO) is one of the most detected interstellar Complex Organic Molecule (iCOM) in the interstellar medium (ISM). These species have a potential biological releva…
Formation of complex organic molecules on interstellar CO ices? Insights from computational chemistry simulations
Stefano Ferrero, Cecilia Ceccarelli, Piero Ugliengo +2
Carbon (P) atom is a reactive species that, according to laboratory experiments and theoretical calculations, condensates with interstellar ice components. This fact is of utte…
Identifying meteorite droppers among the population of bright 'sporadic' bolides imaged by the Spanish Meteor Network during the spring of 2022
Eloy Peña-Asensio, Josep M. Trigo-Rodríguez, Albert Rimola +2
The extraordinary weather conditions available between February and March 2022 over Spain have allowed us to analyze the brightest fireballs recorded by the monitoring stations of…
