Extraterrestrial Photochemistry: Principles and Applications
Christopher R. Arumainayagam, Eric Herbst, A. N. Heays +3
Energetic processing of interstellar ice mantles and planetary atmospheres via photochemistry is a critical mechanism in the extraterrestrial synthesis of prebiotic molecules. Phot…
Non-thermal photons and direct photodissociation of H2, HD and HeH+ in the chemistry of the primordial Universe
C. M. Coppola, M. V. Kazandjian, D. Galli +2
Non-thermal photons deriving from radiative transitions among the internal ladder of atoms and molecules are an important source of photons in addition to thermal and stellar sourc…
Isotope selective photodissociation of N2 by the interstellar radiation field and cosmic rays
Alan N. Heays, Ruud Visser, Roland Gredel +4
Photodissociation of 14N2 and 14N15N occurs in interstellar clouds, circumstellar envelopes, protoplanetary discs, and other environments due to UV radiation from stellar sources a…
Photodissociation of interstellar N2
Xiaohu Li, Alan N. Heays, Ruud Visser +4
Molecular nitrogen is one of the key species in the chemistry of interstellar clouds and protoplanetary disks and the partitioning of nitrogen between N and N2 controls the formati…
