Flux and fluence effects on the Vacuum-UV photodesorption and photoprocessing of CO ices
Antoine B. Hacquard, Daniela Torres-Diaz, Romain Basalgète +10
CO is a major component of the icy mantles surrounding dust grains in planet and star formation regions. Understanding its photodesorption is crucial for explaining gas phase a…
Photodesorption of acetonitrile CH3CN in UV-irradiated regions of the Interstellar Medium: an experimental evidence
Romain Basalgète, Antonio Jesus Ocaña, Géraldine Féraud +5
Pure acetonitrile (CH3CN) and mixed CO:CH3CN and H2O:CH3CN ices have been irradiated at 15K with Vacuum UltraViolet (VUV) photons in the 7-13.6 eV range using synchrotron radiation…
The water line emission and ortho-to-para ratio in the Orion Bar photon-dominated region
T. Putaud, X. Michaut, F. Le Petit +2
A very low ortho-to-para ratio (OPR) of 0.1-0.5 was previously reported in the Orion Bar photon-dominated region (PDR), based on observations of two optically thin $\mathrm{H_2^{18…
Vacuum ultraviolet photodesorption and photofragmentation of formaldehyde-containing ices
Géraldine Féraud, Mathieu Bertin, Claire Romanzin +7
Non-thermal desorption from icy grains containing HCO has been invoked to explain the observed HCO gas phase abundances in ProtoPlanetary Disks (PPDs) and Photon Dominated…
Synchrotron radiation interaction with cryosorbed layers for astrochemical investigations
Rémi Dupuy, Mathieu Bertin, Géraldine Féraud +8
Photon-stimulated desorption (PSD) is a process of interest for the two seemingly unrelated topics of accelerator vacuum dynamics and astrochemistry. Here we present an approach to…
X-ray photodesorption from water ice in protoplanetary disks and X-ray dominated regions
Rémi Dupuy, Mathieu Bertin, Géraldine Féraud +10
Water is the main constituent of interstellar ices, and it plays a key role in the evolution of many regions of the interstellar medium, from molecular clouds to planet-forming dis…
The efficient photodesorption of nitric oxide (NO) ices A laboratory astrophysics study
R. Dupuy, G. Féraud, M. Bertin +8
The study and quantification of UV photon-induced desorption of frozen molecules furthers our understanding of the chemical evolution of cold interstellar regions. Nitric oxide (NO…
Nitrile versus isonitrile adsorption at interstellar grain surfaces II. Carbonaceous aromatic surfaces
Mathieu Bertin, Mikhaïl Doronin, Xavier Michaut +6
Almost 20 % of the ~ 200 different species detected in the interstellar and circumstellar media present a carbon atom linked to nitrogen by a triple bond. Of these 37 molecules, 30…
Spectrally-resolved UV photodesorption of CH4 in pure and layered ices
Rémi Dupuy, Mathieu Bertin, Géraldine Féraud +6
Context. Methane is among the main components of the ice mantles of insterstellar dust grains, where it is at the start of a rich solid-phase chemical network. Quantification of th…
Nitrile versus isonitrile adsorption at interstellar grains surfaces: I - Hydroxylated surfaces
Mathieu Bertin, Mikhaïl Doronin, Jean-Hugues Fillion +7
Almost 20% of the ~ 200 different species detected in the interstellar and circumstellar media present a carbon atom linked to nitrogen by a triple bond. Among these 37 molecules,…
UV photodesorption of methanol in pure and CO-rich ices: desorption rates of the intact molecule and of the photofragments
Mathieu Bertin, Claire Romanzin, Mikhail Doronin +6
Wavelength dependent photodesorption rates have been determined using synchrotron radiation, for condensed pure and mixed methanol ice in the 7 -- 14 eV range. The VUV photodesorpt…

Edith C. Fayolle, Mathieu Bertin, Claire Romanzin +7
Ultraviolet photodesorption of molecules from icy interstellar grains can explain observations of cold gas in regions where thermal desorption is negligible. This non-thermal desor…
CO ice photodesorption: A wavelength-dependent study
Edith C. Fayolle, Mathieu Bertin, Claire Romanzin +4
UV-induced photodesorption of ice is a non-thermal evaporation process that can explain the presence of cold molecular gas in a range of interstellar regions. Information on the av…
