An overview of desorption parameters of Volatile and Complex Organic Molecules: A systematic dig on experimental literature

N. F. W. Ligterink, M. Minissale

Many molecules observed in the interstellar medium are thought to result from thermal desorption of ices. Parameters such as desorption energy and pre-exponential frequency factor…

Acetaldehyde binding energies: a coupled experimental and theoretical study

S. Ferrero, F. Grieco, A-S. Ibrahim Mohamed +6

Acetaldehyde is one of the most common and abundant gaseous interstellar complex organic molecules, found in cold and hot regions of the molecular interstellar medium. Its presence…

Thermal desorption of interstellar ices. A review on the controlling parameters and their implications fromsnowlines to chemical complexity

Marco Minissale, Yuri Aikawa, Edwin Bergin +16

The evolution of star-forming regions and their thermal balance are strongly influenced by their chemical composition, that, in turn, is determined by the physico-chemical processe…

Oxygen diffusion and reactivity at low temperature on bare amorphous olivine-type silicate

M. Minissale, E. Congiu, F. Dulieu

The mobility of O atoms at very low temperatures is not generally taken into account, despite O diffusion would add to a series of processes leading to the observed rich molecular…

Efficient diffusive mechanisms of O atoms at very low temperatures on surfaces of astrophysical interest

E. Congiu, M. Minissale, S. Baouche +6

At the low temperatures of interstellar dust grains, it is well established that surface chemistry proceeds via diffusive mechanisms of H atoms weakly bound (physisorbed) to the su…
