Exploring the chemistry induced by energetic processing of the H2-bearing, CO-rich apolar ice layer

Rafael Martin-Domenech, Pavlo Maksiutenko, Karin I. Oberg +1

Interstellar ice mantles on the surfaces of dust grains are thought to have a bi-layered structure, with a H2O-rich polar layer, covered by a CO-rich apolar layer that probably har…

Formation of NH2CHO and CH3CHO upon UV photoprocessing of interstellar ice analogs

Rafael Martin-Domenech, Karin I. Oberg, Mahesh Rajappan

Complex organic molecules (COMs) can be produced by energetic processing of interstellar ice mantles accreted on top of dust grains. Two COMs with proposed energetic ice formation…

First detection of interstellar S2H

Asunción Fuente, Javier R. Goicoechea, Jerome Pety +11

We present the first detection of gas phase S2H in the Horsehead, a moderately UV-irradiated nebula. This confirms the presence of doubly sulfuretted species in the interstellar me…

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…
