Exploring Impact Vapor Plume Reactions from Asteroidal Impacts: Monte Carlo Simulations and Implications for Biomolecules Synthesis
Yoko Ochiai, Shigeru Ida, Daigo Shoji
During a hypervelocity impact, both the impactor and target materials evaporate, generating an impact vapor plume with temperatures reaching several thousand K. As the plume cools…

Monte Carlo simulation of UV-driven synthesis of complex organic molecules on icy grain surfaces
Yoko Ochiai, Shigeru Ida, Daigo Shoji
Complex organic molecules (COMs) have been widely observed in molecular clouds and protostellar environments. One of the formation mechanisms of COMs is radical reactions on the ic…
